.. _cmd-cdh: cdh - change to a recently visited directory ============================================ Synopsis -------- :: cdh [ directory ] Description ----------- ``cdh`` with no arguments presents a list of recently visited directories. You can then select one of the entries by letter or number. You can also press :kbd:`tab` to use the completion pager to select an item from the list. If you give it a single argument it is equivalent to ``cd directory``. Note that the ``cd`` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the ``$dirprev`` and ``$dirnext`` variables which this command manipulates. If you make those universal variables your ``cd`` history is shared among all fish instances. See Also -------- See also the :ref:`prevd ` and :ref:`pushd ` commands which also work with the recent ``cd`` history and are provided for compatibility with other shells.
