Same for
cd -
. Nice if you want to go to/etc/blah
, and then back to where you were.You can also use
pushd
andpopd
which will push and pop directories from a stack, if you need to do something more complex.Also, if you want to switch faster between branches, slap this in your
~/.gitconfig
under[alias]
:co = !git checkout $(git for-each-ref refs/heads/ --format='%(refname:short)' | fzf)
Presuming you've got
fzf
installed, you can nowgit co
(co = checkout) to get a menu with fuzzy find capabilities to switch between branches. Nice if branch names are long/similar/only-different-at-the-end.fzf
is dope.I have fzf-git for all of that, but honestly I don't ever use it, as I'm hardly ever switching between branches and tab complete is enough for me in most cases.
