I use my "dc" command to reverse "cd" frequently https://gist.github.com/GNOMES/6bf65926648e260d8023aebb9ede9...

Ex:

    > echo $PWD
    /foo/bar/batz/abc/123

    > dc bar && echo $PWD
    /foo/bar
Useful for times when I don't want to type a long train of dot slashes(ex. cd ../../..).

Also useful when using Zoxide, and I tab complete into a directory tree path where parent directories are not in Zoxide history.

Added tab complete for speed.

That's pretty neat. Nice.
Has "dc" the calculator fallen this far out of favor?! :)

> dc is the oldest surviving Unix language program.

I used "dc" (the calculator) just earlier this week. Kids these days? :)
