If I create a symbolic link in the terminal with a command like
ln -s /path/to/some/directory symbolicLink
and then follow the link with
cd symbolicLink
the terminal appears to think that the cwd is ~/symbolicLink/
even though it is actually showing ~/path/to/some/directory/
(assuming that the link was made in ~
, of course). What this means is that if I then type cd ..
I am taken back to ~
, because the terminal 'thinks' this is the parent of the cwd.
What would I need to change such that cd ..
would instead take me to ~/path/to/some/
, i.e. the real parent of ~/path/to/some/directory/
?
