Heres a little trick on how to change directorys like a stack with push and pop :)

push == add directory to the stack

pop == remote the last directory form the stack

The first thing we are going to do is change to a directory with push this done by

entering pushd /path/ as shwon below.

Code:
[damian@localhost ~]$ pushd /home/damian/public_html

~/public_html ~

[damian@localhost public_html]$ pwd

/home/damian/public_html

[damian@localhost public_html]$

Now you can see that the directory has changed if we wanted to go back a directory we would

pop the directory like popd as shown below.

Code:
[damian@localhost public_html]$ pwd

/home/damian/public_html

[damian@localhost public_html]$ popd

~

[damian@localhost ~]$ pwd

/home/damian

[damian@localhost ~]$

Well enjoy poping and pushing your directorys :)
