# popd - move through directory stack

## Synopsis

    popd

## Description

`popd` removes the top directory from the directory stack and changes the working directory to the new top directory. Use pushd to add directories to the stack.

The -h or --help option displays help about using this command.

## Example

    pushd /usr/src
    # Working directory is now /usr/src
    # Directory stack contains /usr/src

    pushd /usr/src/fish-shell
    # Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
    # Directory stack contains /usr/src /usr/src/fish-shell

    popd
    # Working directory is now /usr/src
    # Directory stack contains /usr/src
