One of the earlier posts described how to quickly switch to home directory when using Linux Terminal.
What if one needs to go back to the previous directory when using the Terminal?
Here is a simple way to do that :
Open Terminal and type :
cd -
The below example shows the initial directory as /home/avp/Music. To switch back to it from another directory, simply issue the command as mentioned.
This will quickly switch the current working directory to the previous directory that you were in .
Pretty nice when you need to switch back and forth between directories and get tired of typing “cd” all the time.
Cheers.
