Don't display pushd/popd stack across several bash scripts (quiet pushd/popd)

Question

Each time I use pushd or popd, it print the stack to standard output. How not to do so?

I don't want to do pushd > /dev/null each time because I have a lot of scripts calling each other.

Maybe a nice override will do it, but I'll need to override these builtins only in my scripts, and then restore the correct behavior.

Answer 1

You could add

pushd () {
    command pushd "$@" > /dev/null
}

popd () {
    command popd "$@" > /dev/null
}

to the top of each script. This is probably the minimum amount of work it will take to solve your problem.

Answer 2

In your .profile file (what ever it is called in your system) add:

pushd () {
    command pushd "$@" > /dev/null
}

popd () {
    command popd "$@" > /dev/null
}

export pushd popd

Answer 3

In zsh you can setopt PUSHDSILENT. Put this in your ~/.zshrc.
