Better aliases['..'] = 'cd ..'

Installation

To install use pip:

xpip install xontrib-dotdot
# or: xpip install -U git+https://github.com/yggdr/xontrib-dotdot

Usage

This xontrib will get loaded automatically for interactive sessions. To stop this, set

$XONTRIBS_AUTOLOAD_DISABLED = {"dotdot", }

Now going up in directories can be simply done by chaining dots:

$ pwd
# /some/deep/nested/directory/structure/I/want/to/leave
$ .....
$ pwd
# /some/deep/nested/directory/structure/

The first two dots takes you to the parent, any further dot will go up one more.

Dots and commas can be freely mixed, the above example could've also been achieved by typing ..,,.. This behaviour can be changed by setting the $XONTRIB_DOTDOT_COMMA environment variable to False
