.. _cmd-pushd:
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
-------
::
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
