• Ever found yourself trying to acronymise $pwd to rude words when the result wraps?
• Caught in your Cellar without an easy exit door?
• Are you drowning in your fs but can’t quite type your way to the surface?

In that case…

Introducing back

A simple shell utility to return to a named parent directory without having to know how many levels above your current directory it is.

See the code in my dotfiles.

It even has autocompletion! (remember to source it with source back-completion.bash) to your bash shell init script.
