This command creates a new shell and begin at this path.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
/home/foobar> cat user.json
|
|
{
|
|
"Name": "Peter",
|
|
"Age": 30,
|
|
"Telephone": 88204828,
|
|
"Country": "Singapore"
|
|
}
|
|
/home/foobar> enter user.json
|
|
/> ls
|
|

It also provides the ability to work with multiple directories at the same time. This command will allow you to create a new "shell" and enter it at the specified path. You can toggle between this new shell and the original shell with the `p` (for previous) and `n` (for next), allowing you to navigate around a ring buffer of shells. Once you're done with a shell, you can `exit` it and remove it from the ring buffer.

|
|
|
```shell
|
|
/> enter /tmp
|
|
/tmp> enter /usr
|
|
/usr> enter /bin
|
|
/bin> enter /opt
|
|
/opt> p
|
|
/bin> p
|
|
/usr> p
|
|
/tmp> p
|
|
/> n
|
|
/tmp>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
|
|
If you `enter` a JSON file with multiple a top-level list, this will open one new shell for each list element.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
/private/tmp> printf "1\\n2\\n3\\n" | lines | save foo.json
|
|
/private/tmp> enter foo.json
|
|
/> shells
