pushd
pushd is a Linux command in the Shell & Scripting category, rated advanced difficulty. Changes to a directory and pushes the current directory onto the stack. The syntax is pushd [directory]. It returns directory stack. A practical example: pushd /var/log # Go to /var/log, pushed old dir pushd +2 # Rotate stack to position 2 A close relative is echo, which displays a line of text. Used in scripts for output. A close relative is printf, which formats and prints data (like C printf). More control than echo. A close relative is export, which sets or exports environment variables for child processes. More about this category: Linux shell and scripting commands — bash, echo, export, alias, and more.
