pushd: Rotate stack by making the 5th element the top of the stack.
$ pushd +4
try on your machine

The command "pushd +4" is used to navigate forward through directory history.

When you navigate to different directories, the pushd command keeps track of the directory history. The "+" sign followed by a number represents the number of directories you want to navigate forward in the directory stack.

For example, if you have navigated through several directories and then execute "pushd +4", it will navigate you four directories forward in the history stack. This means it will change your current directory to the directory that was four positions ahead in the 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.
