   Just wanted to drop a line concerning builtins from cd: going back to your ~/ is as simple as ‘cd’ (seems to vaguely be your concern at some point), going back to the directory you have just been is ‘cd -’. Thanks for all the tips and keep’em coming

   Don’t forget to `source .bash_profile` to pick up the changes you made to the file – this way you can also skip reloading your terminal app.

   The cdargs project also enables cd, cp and mv to bookmarks which is cool. Although the setup might be a bit rough for beginners. Details on cdargs are available at http://www.skamphausen.de/cgi-bin/ska/CDargs
