Why is the cd command not working in xiki for sublime text 2?

Question

In xiki for sublime I run this line

$cd /Users/my_name

and no errors or anything appear. However when I run this command

$pwd

this is the output I get

/Users/my_name/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages

It seems like it should be in my home directory. Why isn't this working?

Found the answer. For anyone who is interested, you have to type the directory you are working in above the command. For example

/Users/my_name/
    $ls
