iTerm 3 automatic cd

I recently downloaded iTerm 3 and I have this issue where it automatically cd's in a certain directory when I type the name.

So for example, I want to run grunt, but there's a grunt directory. So when I type grunt, it doesnt run the CLI command, but it automatically cd's into the grunt directory. How can I turn that off?

For example (output of my console):

~ → cd Desktop/dir1
dir1 → ls
dir2
dir1 → dir2
dir2 →

when I type dir2, it should not automatically assume I want to cd right?

Solution

  • I'm afraid this behavior has nothing to do with iTerm, but caused by zsh.
    You can turn it off by execute:

    unsetopt AUTO_cd
