pushd - push directory to directory stack
pushd DIRECTORY
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.
The -h or --help option displays help about using this command.
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
