I accidentally discovered that both “cd …” and “…” work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I’m using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I’m pretty sure this isn’t a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??

I’m so excited about an extra dot right now.

    I use this all the time in zsh, and it’s one dot per directory up.

    ……… will go up 8 directories

    cd is also optional in zsh, you can just type “…” without cd
