| Feb 24, 2017 at 8:30 | comment | added | Stig Hemmer | @OskarSkog That was the point. cd has to be built in, pwd does not. So why did the bash implementors chose to include it? | |
| Feb 24, 2017 at 6:07 | comment | added | Oskar Skog | /bin/pwd exists. I think cd would be a better example here of something that is impossible to implement as a separate tool. | |
