I am a newbie and would like to know if there is any way to eliminate the need for space between cd and .. in the change directory command i.e. cd.. instead of cd ..

why? ... reducing a command by one character has caused untold grief for users trying to unmount a disk volume – jsotola Feb 05 '20 at 03:43
You can always set an alias: alias cd..='cd ..' – xenoid Feb 05 '20 at 07:19
