The author missed to mention one of my favorite tricks to change back in to the last visited directory:

  cd -

Hint: Change into directory called '-' can be done by

  cd ./-

I also use the mkcd alias / function:

  mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd !$; }

This allows creating multiple dirs and cd into the first one.

  mkcd test1 test2 test3

I don't think this is documented anywhere that I've found, but

   git checkout -

checks out the previous branch you were on, similar to cd -

Big fan of git-aliasing this to `git back`. I actually use it a ton and that small amount of extra chars plus the "-" makes a pretty decent difference for me.

Speaking of extra characters, I'm pretty far in with the `git` commands. `git checkout` -> `g c`, `git status` -> `g s`.

I usually do `g c -` but I guess `g back` wouldn't be bad.

cd - is there, it’s one of my favs too
