Here is an example. I'm creating a directory named -
and I can't cd
into it. The command cd -
returnes me to the previous directory. And I'm a bit supprised that cd "-"
works the same way. I can enter that directory using the full path ~/-
, but is there other way?
user@server:~$ cd /tmp
user@server:/tmp$ cd
user@server:~$ mkdir -
user@server:~$ cd -
/tmp
user@server:/tmp$ cd
user@server:~$ cd "-"
/tmp
user@server:/tmp$ cd ~/-
user@server:~/-$
The Drag-and-Drop ShortcutType cd followed by a space. Drag and drop the folder on to the Terminal window. Hit Return.
For directories, execute permission allows you to enter the directory (i.e., cd into it), and to access any of its files.
use instead
cd ./-
if you are in the directory above.
