dirs: Display only the nth entry in the directory stack, starting at 0.
$ dirs +${N}
try on your machine

The "dirs +${N}" command is used in Unix-like operating systems to navigate between directories stored in a stack.

The variable "N" represents a number, which specifies the position of the directory in the stack.

The command "dirs" lists the contents of the directory stack, showing the directories in the order they were added.

The "+" symbol is used to reference a directory relative to the current directory. So, when "+${N}" is added after the "dirs" command, it points to the directory at position N in the stack.

In summary, the command "dirs +${N}" allows you to quickly change the current working directory to the directory present at position N in the directory stack.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
