popd - move through directory stack¶

Synopsis¶

popd

Description¶

popd removes the top directory from the directory stack and changes the working directory to the new top directory. Use pushd to add directories to the stack or dirs to print it.

You may be interested in the cdh command which provides a more intuitive way to navigate to recently visited directories.

Example¶

pushd /usr/src# Working directory is now /usr/src# Directory stack contains /usr/srcpushd /usr/src/fish-shell# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell# Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shellpopd# Working directory is now /usr/src# Directory stack contains /usr/src
