Shameless plug: Bash function to jump back in path https://gist.github.com/1119556 https://gist.github.com/1119556

  In bash, you can just cd - to pop back to the previous working directory, like popd without the pushd. I also set .bash_profile aliases to quickly cd up the directory tree with just dots. It's silly, but surprising helpful. alias ..='cd ..' alias ...='cd ../..' alias ....='cd ../../..'

    I like that idea, I could definitely see it being helpful. I've type cd.. too many times when I meant to say cd ..

      me too. That's why I also: alias cd..='cd ..' :)

    I did some Googling and was not satisfied with any of the solutions (pushd/popd, aliases, CDPATH etc.). That's why I wrote this. Works fine for me :) PS: The whole story on my blog https://chanux.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/no-more-cd-dot-dot-slash https://chanux.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/no-more-cd-dot-dot-s...

    At least '..' is defined by default in zsh.
