I use '..' for '$ cd ..' and '...' for '$ cd ../..'.

  I like '$ .. 5' because after the number goes up the dots become very hard to count.

    Great idea, thanks!

Going to my home dir is another frequent operation for me so I also have alias ~='pushd ~' (Those are tildes but may look like dashes depending on your font and size...) Not as fancy as some other aliases I see here but does the (basic) trick.

  A raw "cd" with no arguments will take you back to your home-directory. Of course "~" is one less character to type, but on the off-chance you didn't know.

    As we're offering alternatives. Either `shopt autocd` in bash or `setopt auto_cd` in zsh, then ~ changes to home by simply being a path.
