1.4 Accessing the projects home Directory
Requirements:

You can access your homedirectory on sf.
I recommend you to create a symbolic link pointing from your account's home
directory to the project's homedirectory.
Example:
cal@usw-pr-shell2:~$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cal users 24 Apr 2 08:06 pists -> /home/groups/p/pi/pists/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cal users 26 Mar 16 07:44 unifoil -> /home/groups/u/un/unifoil/
This can be done via the following command:
cal@usw-pr-shell2:~$ ln -s /home/groups/p/pi/pists/ pists
You can change and browse the project's homedir now by simply typing the
following command:
cal@usw-pr-shell2:~$ cd pists
