NAME
pushd - push directory to directory stack
SYNOPSIS
pushd DIRECTORY
DESCRIPTION
The pushd function adds DIRECTORY to the top of the directory stack <#directory-stack> and makes it the current working directory. popd <> will pop it off and return to the original directory.
Without arguments, it exchanges the top two directories in the stack.
pushd +NUMBER rotates the stack counter-clockwise i.e. from bottom to top
pushd -NUMBER rotates clockwise i.e. top to bottom.
The -h or --help option displays help about using this command.
EXAMPLE
cd ~/dir1 pushd ~/dir2 pushd ~/dir3 # Working directory is now ~/dir3 # Directory stack contains ~/dir2 ~/dir1 pushd /tmp # Working directory is now /tmp # Directory stack contains ~/dir3 ~/dir2 ~/dir1 pushd +1 # Working directory is now ~/dir3 # Directory stack contains ~/dir2 ~/dir1 /tmp popd # Working directory is now ~/dir2 # Directory stack contains ~/dir1 /tmp
SEE ALSO
- the dirs <> command to print the directory stack
- the cdh <> command which provides a more intuitive way to navigate to recently visited directories.
