You were right. Never knewed about the CDPATH variable. I've used popd and pushd for multiple directories. I recently tried another cd tool called autojump. It's nuch easier than popd and pushd.
Great video!!!

Thanks for watching and for the comment. I have heard good things about autojump but havent used it myself.

[@DV-ml4fm]

@BlueMonkey4n6 There are videos here on YT on autojump so you can get an idea of how it works.
