Linux Terminal Goods

Hey guys, I have the same thing, but I called the command ".." (no it doesn't conflict with the directory). ".." by itself is the same as ".. 3"

    .. () {
      local arg=${1:-1};
      while [ $arg -gt 0 ]; do
        builtin cd .. &> /dev/null;
        arg=$(($arg - 1));
      done;
    }

Mine is similar, but only does one cd command - to allow better use of `cd -`

    up() {
        local ups="."
        for((i=0;i<${1:-1};i++)); do
            ups="${ups}/.."
        done
        builtin cd "$ups"
    }

"cd -" is equal to "cd $OLDPWD", so that still works with my function ;)

Though yours looks much nicer ^^"
