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 @key{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.
