# List The Stack Of Remembered Directories
When you open a new Unix shell, you start in some directory, probably your
home (`~/`) directory. As you `cd` around to different directories, there is
a paper trail of your movements, a listing of where you've been. You can
view this listing of directories with the `dirs` command.
```
$ dirs
~/
$ cd code
$ dirs
~/code ~/
$ cd /usr/bin
$ dirs
/usr/bin ~/code ~/
```
Each time you `cd`, the directory you have moved to is pushed onto the stack of
visited directories. Alternatively, you can use the `popd` command to return
to the previous directory, removing the current directory from the stack.
