.. _cmd-popd:
popd - move through directory stack
===================================
Synopsis
--------
popd
Description
-----------
``popd`` removes the top directory from the directory stack and changes the working directory to the new top directory. Use ``pushd`` to add directories to the stack.
You may be interested in the ``cdh`` command which provides a more intuitive way to navigate to recently visited directories.
Example
-------
::
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
popd
# Working directory is now /usr/src
# Directory stack contains /usr/src
