What is the easiest method to move files into current directory in terminal?

Question

I was wondering if there was a cleaner method to move files into the current directory than this:

mv path/to/file ../current_directory

If I wanted to move a file to the directory above I could go:

mv file ..

Is there a way to represent the current directory?

Solution

The current directory is ., so you can use:

mv path/to/file .

Two dots (..) is directory above, one dot (.) is current DIR.
