Remarks
- Every time you use the pushd command, a single directory is stored for your use. However, you can store multiple directories by using the pushd command multiple times.
The directories are stored sequentially in a virtual stack. If you use the pushd command once, the directory in which you use the command is placed at the bottom of the stack. If you use the command again, the second directory is placed on top of the first one. The process repeats every time you use the pushd command.
You can use the popd command to change the current directory to the directory most recently stored by the pushd command. If you use the popd command, the directory on the top of the stack is removed from the stack and the current directory is changed to that directory. If you use the popd command again, the next directory on the stack is removed. - When command extensions are enabled, the popd command removes any drive-letter assignations created by pushd.
Examples
