nextd - move forward through directory history — fish-shell 4.2.1 documentation

# nextd - move forward through directory history

## Synopsis

    nextd [-l | --list] [POS]

## Description

`nextd` moves forwards POS positions in the history of visited directories; if the end of the history has been hit, a warning is printed.

If the -l or --list option is specified, the current directory history is also displayed.

The -h or --help option displays help about using this command.

Note that the `cd` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the `dirprev` and `dirnext` variables which this command manipulates.

## Example

    cd /usr/src
    # Working directory is now /usr/src

    cd /usr/src/fish-shell
    # Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell

    prevd
    # Working directory is now /usr/src

    nextd
    # Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
