The author missed to mention one of my favorite tricks to change back in to the last visited directory:

  cd -

Hint: Change into directory called '-' can be done by

  cd ./-

I also use the mkcd alias / function:

  mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd !$; }

This allows creating multiple dirs and cd into the first one.

  mkcd test1 test2 test3
