cd: string not in pwd
Read OriginalThe article details a specific zsh shell error ('cd: string not in pwd') encountered when using a wildcard with the 'cd' command. It explains why this happens due to zsh's multi-argument 'cd old new' syntax being triggered, and demonstrates the practical utility of this syntax for efficiently switching between similar directory paths (e.g., from a 'v1' to a 'v2' folder structure).
