Submitted by mlsamuelson on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 12:44

pushd

Add the current directory to the directory stack.

pushd ~/tmp

Add ~/tmp directory to the stack and cd there.

dirs -v

Display the directory stack.

pushd +2

Bring the directory at the 2 position to the front of the stack (0) and cd there.

popd

Pop off (remove from stack) the top/current directory in the stack (position 0).

popd -1

Remove the directory at the 1 position in the stack.

Or you could just use Poor man's recall:

cd -

Recalls the last directory. Just like the recall button on your TV remote.
