I've got absolutely no idea what this does and if I search something like "linux ./ command", Google just seems to ignore those two characters as they're puntuation. If someone can give me a simple answer, I'd be very grateful :)

Couple of commands that could help you on understanding it are,
From any directory (assume /home/somedir
), run the below commands.
stat ./
- It will give out an inode number.find /home -inum inode_number
- It will list the directory from where you originally executed thestat
command.
