learnbyexampleNavigating around in your shell
Executive ChimpGood article. Rather than aliasing `cd …/…" etc. I’ve got this function in my setup:
up () { local x='' for i in $(seq ${1:-1}) do x="$x../" done cd $x }This lets me do up 4 to go up 4 directories.
ENipoOh I really like this.
I never had an alias for this since I need to do multiple backwards cds very rarely, but I might just copy this
Go for it. I’ve been using it for years without a problem.
I have the zsh option autopushd set which calls pushd in interactive shells for every cd, that way 90% of the time when I want to go back up to another path I can just use popd
