  • I don't understand your question? The point is that pushd breaks the behavior of cd - that I want (or expect). I know perfectly well in which directory I am, but I want to increase the speed with which I change directories :) Commented Feb 21, 2012 at 12:46

    @bernhard Oh, I misunderstood what you were asking. You were wanting to know how to store the current working directory. I was interpreting it as you wanted to remember (as in you forgot) your current working directory. Commented Feb 22, 2012 at 1:58
