Now that I did not know - using pushd and popd to navigate the Bourne Again Shell (BASH)

Further tinkering with Kata Containers etc. led me here: -

You can install the cri-tools from source code:

$ make

You might already feel that the terminal is an impossibly fast way to navigate your computer; in just a few key presses, you can go anywhere on your hard drive, attached storage, or network share. But that speed can break down when you find yourself going back and forth between directories, or when you get "lost" within your filesystem. Those are precisely the problems pushd and popd can help you solve.
