# List The Stack Of Remembered Directories
|
|
|
|
When you open a new Unix shell, you start in some directory, probably your
|
|
home (`~/`) directory. If you use `pushd` to navigate 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
|
|
~/
|
|
$ pushd code
|
|
$ dirs
|
|
~/code ~/
|
|
$ pushd /usr/bin
|
|
$ dirs
|
|
/usr/bin ~/code ~/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each time you `pushd`, 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.
