pushd - push directory to directory stack
==========================================

Synopsis
--------

pushd [DIRECTORY]


Description
------------

The `pushd` function adds `DIRECTORY` to the top of the directory stack and makes it the current working directory. <a href="#popd">`popd`</a> will pop it off and return to the original directory.

Without arguments, it exchanges the top two directories in the stack.

`pushd +NUMBER` rotates the stack counter-clockwise i.e. from bottom to top

`pushd -NUMBER` rotates clockwise i.e. top to bottom.

See also `dirs` and `dirs -c`.

You may be interested in the <a href="commands.html#cdh">`cdh`</a> command which provides a more intuitive way to navigate to recently visited directories.

Example
------------

\fish
pushd /usr/src
# Working directory is now /usr/src
# Directory stack contains /usr/src

pushd /usr/src/fish-shell
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
# Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell

pushd /tmp/
# Working directory is now /tmp
# Directory stack contains /tmp /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell

pushd +1
# Working directory is now /usr/src
# Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell /tmp

popd
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
# Directory stack contains /usr/src/fish-shell /tmp
\endfish
