To enter your user's Desktop directory, run cd ~/Desktop (the ~ is expanded into your user's home directory). If your Desktop directory doesn't exist, you can create it via mkdir ~/Desktop.

cd Desktop/ Goes to the Desktop directory if you are in your home directory.
cd - Goes back to previous directory.
cd / Take you to the root directory.
cd ~/Desktop Will take you to your Desktop Directory no matter where you are.
Run this command in terminal,it will help you.
cd ~/Desktop
gcc yourfilename.c
