Similar in concept to $PWD, this Zsh plugin saves your initial working directory in $IWD for easy returns to the starting point of your session.

To install using a Zsh plugin manager, add the following to your .zshrc

• antidote: antidote bundle zshzoo/iwd
• zcomet: zcomet load zshzoo/iwd
• zgenom: zgenom load zshzoo/iwd
• znap: znap source zshzoo/iwd

To install manually, first clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/zshzoo/iwd ${ZDOTDIR:-~}/.zplugins/iwd

Then, in your .zshrc, add the following line:

source ${ZDOTDIR:-~}/.zplugins/iwd/iwd.zsh

To install with Oh-My-Zsh, first clone the repo from an interactive Zsh session:

# make sure your $ZSH_CUSTOM is set
ZSH_CUSTOM=${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}

# now, clone the plugin
git clone https://github.com/zshzoo/iwd $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/iwd

Then, add the plugin to your Oh-My-Zsh plugins list in your .zshrc

# in your .zshrc, add this plugin to your plugins list
plugins=(... iwd)

To install with Prezto, first clone the repo from an interactive Zsh session:
