Fast command-line navigation using pushd and popd
When navigating around multiple locations in the filesystem, a common practice is to cd to paths you copy and paste. This is not efficient if we are dealing with several locations. When we need to navigate back and forth between locations, it is time consuming to type or paste the path with each cd command. Bash and other shells support pushd and popd to cycle between directories.
