`cd` in subshell
With many of our projects sequestering the front end javascript code
into an assets directory I find myself moving between the root
project directory and the assets directory to perform all the npm or yarn related tasks in that assets dir. Inevitably I'll start doing something like this:
cd assets; npm install; cd ..
or this
pushd assets; npm install; popd
In both cases using ; instead of && puts me back in the original directory regardless of the result of the npm command.
I just learned that using cd in a subshell does not change the directory of the current shell, so I can also do this:
(cd assets; npm install)
