That is the way

$ cd ..
$ ls
$ cd ..
$ ls

"hmm yes.. everything seems to be in order"

In your rc:
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'
alias ....='cd ../../..'

Usage:
1/2/3 $ ...
1 $

cd ..
⭡ ⏎
⭡ ⏎
⭡ ⏎

..... for zsh users

cd .. ls cd .. ls cd .. ls cd .. ls

Depending on where you are, maybe just "cd".

I alias .. to cd ..

Works for me 🤷🏻

Try zoxide

for i in { 1..4 }; do cd ..; done

I use a lot cd - (go to previous) or just cd to go home.

i use fish shell with https://github.com/nickeb96/puffer-fish

basically when i type ... it expands to ../.. and adds another /.. for every additional dot i type

its similar to what the zsh users in the comment section are doing

Or the alias I have set up

…..

cd ..

cd ..... I use zsh btw

cd ..
!!
!!
!!

alias ..='cd ..' #: up one directory
alias ...='cd ../..' #: up two directories

Tbf it is less key presses since you can generally just recall the last command.

cd .. && ls
!!
!!
!!
!!

alias .4=cd ../../../..

.....

~$ mkdir -p 1/2/3/4
~$ pushd 1
~/1 ~
1$ pushd 2/3/4
~/1/2/3/4 ~/1 ~
4$ popd
~/1 ~
1$

Easiest solution, use fish instead of bash! Default fish keybindings will allow you to just type . . or name a directory similar to how you could do with Zoxide.

Also, wait until you find about pushd and popd ;)

cd - helps

cd .../...

Wait until we tell them about autojump

The history of the CTO at a previous job was filled with dc and sl because he was a fucking moron. Yes I'm still bitter that he earned way more money than me who had to fix all his mess.

I feel called out. Should definitely make an alias or two that auto CDs me the amount of times I need...

Why no cd /////// speceficterm if you know how deep it is

Those are supposed to be stars. I'm not fixing this on a phone

cd /some/thing/i/remember

z myDir

Nah, I always cd to full path, that way I can easily use my history to move back there

cd..

git () { if [ "$1" = "cd" ] then shift cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*" else command git "$@" fi }

Childhood me with only MS-DOS machines is all feeling nostalgic.

cd ./..
cd ../._

alias cdr='cd /'

Heh

td aliased to cd $(whatever the command is to get the git root directory)

cd .

cd ..
pwd

More like cd… dir cd… dir cd…

bind '"^H":"cd ..^M"'

Sometimes I have to swap between two routed for several things, so I create a quick in-memory alias like aa=$(pwd)

Then I can cd $aa

TIL about $CDPATH may have to populate that!

The good thing about Dolphin is you can have the real tree following your navigation. Want to go up a few levels, just click once, directly where you want to go next. None of this up, up, up nonsense. Great for snooping in many different folders in quick succession.

alias !="cd .."

Approximative syntax but you get the idea.
