Indeed, thank you for mentioning that - I was going to suggest similar.
That said, if you do (ie: scratch files, things outside of control, whatever), consider the directory stack:

Using 'pushd' and 'popd' can save your fingers/brain from getting lost in context.
- arp242 3y agoI like using subshells for this: ( cd dir for f in ./*; [..] ) There's a few scenarios where this won't work (mainly if you want to set a variable from the "outer scope"), but 99% of the time it works nicely.
- bravetraveler 3y agoAh, that's a nice/neat thought - thank you for sharing! Makes total sense, temporary/disposable shell for such things
