I'm not saying you should all go out and set up aliases to enable your various typos and slip-ups, but I honestly don't know why I didn't do this 25 years ago.

alias cd..='cd ..'

#bash #UNIX #Shell #UnixShell #POSIX

@rl_dane I enjoy just .. or ../... as an example.

That can also be done as a bash alias, but for some reason, I've never felt the need to.

Maybe if cd had been changedir all along, or something. XD

I think I commented elsewhere on this thread being surprised that unix's mkdir wasn't md like in DOS.

I never aliased that, but I do have a very useful alias called mcd (actually, a function):

function mcd {
    #mkdir & cd
    [[ $1 ]] && mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$1"
}

@rl_dane Yeah it's funny how commands came to be. Very nice.
