NAME
pushd - push directory to directory stack

SYNOPSIS
pushd DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

The pushd function adds DIRECTORY to the top of the directory stack and makes it the current working directory. popd will pop it off and return to the original directory.

Without arguments, it exchanges the top two directories in the stack.

pushd +NUMBER rotates the stack counter-clockwise i.e. from bottom to top

pushd -NUMBER rotates clockwise i.e. top to bottom.

The -h or --help option displays help about using this command.

EXAMPLE

cd ~/dir1
pushd ~/dir2
pushd ~/dir3
# Working directory is now ~/dir3
# Directory stack contains ~/dir2 ~/dir1
pushd /tmp
# Working directory is now /tmp
# Directory stack contains ~/dir3 ~/dir2 ~/dir1
pushd +1
# Working directory is now ~/dir3
# Directory stack contains ~/dir2 ~/dir1 /tmp
popd
# Working directory is now ~/dir2
# Directory stack contains ~/dir1 /tmp
