Yet Another #OneDevMinute where you'll learn about how easy it is to access the previous git branch, and then again do the same with normal directories in your terminal.
Seriously, if you are working in two different directories or in two different git branches, then moving back and forth again and again can be pretty cumbersome. This tip sets you up with cd - or git checkout -. Watch the video to learn more.
git checkout other-branch
git checkout yet-another-branch
git checkout - # Takes you back in the other-branch
git checkout - # Takes you back in the yet-other-branch
cd dir1
cd dir2
cd - # Takes you back in the dir1
cd - # Takes you back in the dir2

I never knew you could do that with
git checkout -. That's a great tip.Glad you liked it. It's a silly small thing but it's super useful. 😇
I'm loving these, thanks @mrahmadawais !
That's very kind of you to say, Peter! 🙌
I love this small videobits you do. Not everytime I learn something new - although this time I really did ;) - but they are on the point and nice to watch! Keep on going!
