pushd Command Examples

Place a directory on a stack so it can be accessed later. See also popd to switch back to original directory and dirs to display directory stack contents. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Directory-Stack-Builtins.html.

• Switch to directory and push it on the stack:

pushd {{path/to/directory}}

• Switch first and second directories on the stack:

pushd

• Rotate stack by making the 5th element the top of the stack:

pushd +4

• Rotate the stack 4 times to the left (the current directory stays at the top by replacing the 5th element):

pushd -n +4
