Change to the previous working directory:
$ cd -
Note:
$ cd .. is used to come back one directory from current directory.
$ cd is used to come back home directory.
$ cd - is used to revert back.
Ex:
[suresh@mercury ~]$ pwd
/home/suresh
[suresh@mercury ~]$ cd Desktop/linux/test/
[suresh@mercury test]$ pwd
/home/suresh/Desktop/linux/test
[suresh@mercury test]$ cd
[suresh@mercury ~]$ pwd
/home/suresh
[suresh@mercury ~]$ cd -
/home/suresh/Desktop/linux/test
[suresh@mercury test]$ pwd
/home/suresh/Desktop/linux/test
[suresh@mercury test]$
