How do you get the name of the current working directory in R?

The working directory is the folder on your computer R checks for a file whenever you want to import data into R. For example, you can set your Downloads folder as your working directory, and then you'll only need to supply the name of the file you want to import instead of the full path to that file: df <- read_csv("myFile.csv") instead of: df <- read_csv("C:\\User\\Downloads\\myFile.csv") To see what your current working directory is, type: getwd() And to change it: setwd("path\\to\\new\\working\\directory")
