cd-history

Maintain a history of directories we've cd'ed into.

Like the command history of many shells but for tracks the directories we've visited.

Add to your ~/.bashrc, for example:

cd () { local cmd; cmd="$(cd-history "$@")" && eval "$cmd"; }
cdh () { cd-history --list | less -S +G "$@"; }

Then use "cd" as you would normally, plus:

• cdh See the list of directories in your history

• cd %foo Change to a directory in your history ending with "foo". If there are multiple matches, switch to the most recent but show all matches

• cd %foo% Change to a directory containing "foo" anywhere in the pathname

• cd 4 Change to directory number 4

• cd -4 Change to the 4th directory from the bottom of the list

• cd - Same as cd -1. Any number of dashes may be given to indicate how many directories back. cd ---- is the same as cd -4

• cd Change to $HOME
