I enjoy using pushd, but I typically forget to use it before changing directories. Of course there's always 'cd -' which will take you to the last directory you were in. Just now I had a thought - will this work with pushd? The answer is yes.
Scenario: You're in /home/foo and you cd to /usr/local/bin. Now you remember you're going to bounce back & forth between these directories. You could 'pushd /home/foo' then 'pushd' to establish two directories on top of the directory stack and get back to where you just were. Here's the cool trick. Just do 'pushd -' and you've now got your current directory plus the one you were just in in the directory stack. The 'pushd' command by itself will move you between the top two directories listed in the stack. To display the contents of the directory stack, use 'dirs' Curt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
