Bash: "cd -" - done.

Or cd .. alone. The proposed command is like killing a robin with a bazooka :)

Am I missing the point? cd .. = Go up one directory, from where I am. cd - = Go back to my previous cwd, no matter where it was cd = Go to the home directory of the current user The proposed command seems to be the only one that will "move to parent directory" i.e. one directory up from where I am. Did you all read the command and think about it before you slammed this person with 12 negative votes???

I see the first comment ("cd -") is totally off-topic, but don't be hungry it may happen... I am afraid the reason of (currently) -12 is because the command is a copy exact of eimantas' command (currently +2), did you see? it was written in 2009!

it get's even more useful with plenty of them: alias ..='cd ..' alias ...='cd ../..' alias ....='cd ../../..' alias .....='cd ../../../..'

Careful! If you are a user of FOR loops, you could shoot yourself in the foot here. for I in {1..10} do; scp somefile.conf me@server$i; done

@Karunamon: '..' only works when it's at the start of command

Perfect House Of Pugs acquired a passion for animals, and the Pug puppy in particular, at a young age since I grew up in a house with lots of dogs. It was a natural ability to know how to grow, nurture, and care for animals. I knew what the future held when I met my wife, who essentially had the same enthusiasm as I have. Being a breeder is more of a passion for me than a profession since I get to witness people's faces light up when they successfully adopt a pug puppy from our facility. It is not possible to find happiness in anything else. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE LINK BELLOW FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT PUG PUPPIES.
