pushd(1)

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.

See also dirs and dirs -c.

pushd /usr/src/fish-shell
