Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cd [DIRECTORY]
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
``cd`` changes the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
If ``DIRECTORY`` is supplied, it will become the new directory. If no parameter is given, the contents of the ``HOME`` environment variable will be used.
|
|
|
|
If ``DIRECTORY`` is a relative path, the paths found in the ``CDPATH`` list will be tried as prefixes for the specified path, in addition to $PWD.
|
|
|
|
Note that the shell will attempt to change directory without requiring ``cd`` if the name of a directory is provided (starting with ``.``, ``/`` or ``~``, or ending with ``/``).
|
|
|
|
Fish also ships a wrapper function around the builtin ``cd`` that understands ``cd -`` as changing to the previous directory. See also :ref:`prevd <cmd-prevd>`. This wrapper function maintains a history of the 25 most recently visited directories in the ``$dirprev`` and ``$dirnext`` global variables. If you make those universal variables your ``cd`` history is shared among all fish instances.
|
|
|
|
As a special case, ``cd .`` is equivalent to ``cd $PWD``, which is useful in cases where a mountpoint has been recycled or a directory has been removed and recreated.
