It's really handy if you need to jump back and forth between two directories with diverse paths.

  For that I usually use pushd. [chronomex@gir ~]$ mkdir test1 test2 [chronomex@gir ~]$ cd test2 [chronomex@gir ~/test2]$ pwd /home/chronomex/test2 [chronomex@gir ~/test2]$ pushd ../test1 ~/test1 ~/test2 [chronomex@gir ~/test1]$ pwd /home/chronomex/test1 [chronomex@gir ~/test1]$ pushd ~/test2 ~/test1 [chronomex@gir ~/test2]$ pwd /home/chronomex/test2 [chronomex@gir ~/test2]$

    On older systems you had to do a fairly complicated set up for pushd/popd yourself. I did once in along 1998 or so, but never bothered again, since the great majority of the time "cd -" was good enough.

    the command go with pushd is popd,which pop the last path you pushed into the queue.
