cdhist is a utility which provides a Linux shell cd history directory stack. A shell cd wrapper function calls cdhist to intercept your typed cd command and maintain an ordered stack of all directories you have previously visited which can be listed and quickly navigated to.
cdhist can also be used with a fuzzy finder (such as fzf) to fuzzy search and select on previously visited directories, and can be used to easily cd between git worktree directories.
This is free and open source software.
