'cd' option to change to the previous directory

Question

I remember there was a way to execute the cd command, automatically returning to the previous directory (without an explicit cd ...). Is it possible?

Answer 1

If you just want to go back to the last directory, you can use cd -.

If you need more places to go back to, try pushd <dir> (instead of cd <dir>) and then you can go back with popd.
