If you are working in a big project such as Android, you will find that changing directory in a deep tree is painful.
Try adding this function to ~/.bashrc
..() {
num=$1
test $1 || num=1
seq=`seq $num`
next=`printf '../%.0s' {$seq}`
cd $next
ls
}
suppose you are at /home/foo/L1/L2/L3/L4
$ .. # will go to L3 $ .. 2 # will go to L2 $ .. 3 # will go to L1 $ .. 100 # will go to /
