If ou don't want de output in the cd - command, you can just go ahead with cd $OLDPWD, i Think its more neat than the output redirect to the /dev/null :)
This is a pretty cool trick, I never new about cd - or the variable $OLDPWD although I do know about the other shortcuts such as cd ~. This seems like it could also be useful for bash scripting as-well.
this is really interesting Linux Tricks, not aware of variable $OLDPWD
