./ is a shortcut used in Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems to refer to the current directory. It stands for “current directory”, and it can be used to refer to the current directory in commands, scripts, and programs. For example, if you run a command like ls ./ in the terminal, it will list the contents of the current directory.
