up, a bash function to make walking up the directory tree easier. It allows walking up by passing in a --level commandline option: $ cd home/helpermethod/projects/bash-specs $ up --levels=2 $ pwd /home/helpermethod or by passing in a basename: $ cd home/helpermethod/projects/bash-specs $ up helpermethod $ pwd /home/helpermethod It's written in pure Bash (no external dependencies) and features autocompletion for options and basenames. It's more or less finished implementation-wise but lacks documentation and installation instructions. https://github.com/helpermethod/up https://github.com/helpermethod/up
