Provide a way to access the default cd

[d0ugal]

I wanted to add this to my .env file;

PROJECT_NAME="$( basename "$( cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE}" )" && pwd )")";

However, as you can see the line includes a call to cd because of this, the script enters an infinite loop and hangs.

I'm not actually sure if/how this can be improved.

FWIW, I worked around this by making a call out to zsh as shown in line 2 of the following.

PROJECT_DIR="$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE:-$0}" )";
ABSOLUTE_DIR=`$SHELL -c "cd \"$PROJECT_DIR\" && pwd"`;
PROJECT_NAME="$( basename $ABSOLUTE_DIR)";

if [[ -n $PROJECT_NAME && $VIRTUAL_ENV != *"$PROJECT_NAME" ]];
    then workon $PROJECT_NAME;
fi;

unset PROJECT_DIR;
unset ABSOLUTE_DIR;
unset PROJECT_NAME;

You can use:

builtin cd /path/to/dir

Oh neat, I had no idea. Thanks!

When I use the builtin, then autoenv still executes my .env script
