Your solutions are equally invalid even if they can be executed -
likely with a different error than what you are seeing now.
The current command is symbolic in nature since where in the local
filesystem tree src/tutorial exists is unknown.
If this is "fixed" at all, so that it is a valid and useful command,
the change would be to simply make src/tutorial a relative path:
cd src/tutorial
I personally find no confusion with the existing code, which points
out that the where you cd to requires being in the right initial
location, but would accept a purely relative path.
I would not accept randomly adding relative ancestor navigation since
the only reason it is being suggested is due to misunderstanding the
intent of the original.
