pushd - push directory to directory stack¶
Synopsis¶
pushd [DIRECTORY]
Description¶
The pushd
function adds DIRECTORY
to the top of the 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.
Example¶
pushd /usr/src
# Working directory is now /usr/src
# Directory stack contains /usr/src
pushd /usr/src/fish-shell
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
# Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell
pushd /tmp/
# Working directory is now /tmp
# Directory stack contains /tmp /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell
pushd +1
# Working directory is now /usr/src
# Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell /tmp
popd
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
# Directory stack contains /usr/src/fish-shell /tmp
