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 <a href=”#pushd”>``pushd``</a> to add directories to the stack.
You may be interested in the <a href=”commands.html#cdh”>``cdh``</a> 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/src
pushd /usr/src/fish-shell
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
# Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell
popd
# Working directory is now /usr/src
# Directory stack contains /usr/src
