The cd (or chdir
) is a builtin shell command to change the current
working directory of the shell. This package provides a user-friendly
version of the cd
command, called ecd
. It lists the contents of a
directory upon changing directory, and also provides the ability to save
absolute and relative shortcuts. Please check the examples below.
