pushd

Additional Notes

pushd is a shell command used to add a directory to the shell directory stack. It adds a directory to the stack and changes to it, enabling quick navigation between directories.

Used with popd and dirs, these commands let you maintain a directory stack for efficient navigation. Use pushd with no arguments to swap the top two directories.
