cd

Change (working) directory

Description

Changes current working directory.

Usage

cd path

Examples

# Home directory
» cd: ~

# Absolute path
» cd: /etc/

# Relative path
» cd: Documents
» cd: ./Documents

Detail

cd updates an environmental variable, $PWDHIST with an array of paths. You can then use that to change to a previous directory

# View the working directory history
» $PWDHIST

# Change to a previous directory
» cd $PWDHIST[0]

auto-cd

Some people prefer to omit cd and just write the path, with their shell automatically changing to that directory if the "command" is just a directory. In Murex you can enable this behaviour by turning on "auto-cd":

config: set shell auto-cd true
