because of a mkdir
syntax error.

I totally forgot! Makes sense that the implementation is shell-specific.
Wait what??? That’s amazing! I’m learning so much.
Yup, that’s what I’ve always understood. Seems like this is zsh-specific, since using the default Terminal app with zsh also works. Do you know if other shells (fish, csh, etc.) support this syntactic sugar? Anything else zsh has that I should know?
Really? Doesn’t seem to work when I use bash:
bash-3.2$ cd a/b/c/d/e
bash-3.2$ ...
bash: ...: command not found
bash-3.2$ cd ...
bash: cd: ...: No such file or directory
I’m a little surprised the one I picked made it lol
Oooh I’m stealing these aliases! Odd that I never wondered whether you could have an alias be symbols.
