# usage example (after 'source'ing this file): | |
# up 4 | |
# to go up 4 folders | |
# | |
# or: | |
# up | |
# then it goes up by 1, and you can press ENTER to go up further | |
# press any other key to stay where your are | |
# | |
# Bonus: Sets OLDPWD, so you can use "cd -" to go back to the origin path | |
# | |
# (Tested with bash 5, TODO: "up foobar" to go to the next folder that matches the pattern "foobar") | |
