# Change To That New Directory
|
||||
|
||||
The `$_` variable provided by bash is always set to the last argument of the
|
||||
previous command. One handy use of this is for changing directories into a
|
||||
newly created directory.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ mkdir new_dir && cd $_
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command will leave you in your newly created directory, `new_dir`.
|
||||
|
||||
We can imagine using this bash variable in a number of similar scenarios as
|
||||
well. What if we are using some language specific command that creates a
|
||||
directory? Will it work with create a new Phoenix or Rails project?
|
||||
|
||||
It sure will.
|
||||
|
||||
Give it a try with Phoenix:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mix phx.new my_app && cd $_
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or with Rails:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rails new app && cd $_
|
||||
```
