Can anyONe tell me what the Unix/nix command is for......?

Question

going back two steps or directories

Answer 1

You can go up two with cd ../..

There is not any back button like a web browser. Your shell may have history, press up arrow a few times in bash for example.

Answer 2

In csh there is the command popd 2. The shell keeps a history stack, pushing new ones on or popping them off.

Or, you can write a shell script. The one I wrote uses either cd 2 or cd -- to change 2 directories back, maintains a history of previous directories, and lets you set nicknames for long strings

Answer 3

The command you want is "cd" (without the quotes)
For complete details open a console and enter the following command

man cd
