Why not just use "cd -"?

Subject:  Back Command :)




this may come in handy for those of us command
line fanatics. It allows for a quick back button
if you will, like if your in a dir /usr/local/bin
and you cd'd to /home/user/dev/stuff and you
wanted to got back, after a while it can get
tedious to move back and forth (yes I know that is
what the up and down arrows are for) but this is
another way of doing it.

to add the back command (bash only at this moment)
add the following lines to your .bashrc file
or your /etc/profile

-- begin code --
alias cd='export BWD=$PWD; cd'
alias back='export CCOM="cd $BWD"; export TDIR=$PWD;
`echo $CCOM`; export BWD=$TDIR'
-- end code --
