## Description

A powershell script that takes you up __N__ directories in the hierarchy. 

Inspired from this awesome [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/245724) answer.

## Setup

Open powershell and execute,

```powershell

notepad $PROFILE

```

A pop-up might appear, click `Yes`.

In the script file add the following command,

```powershell

Set-Alias -Name up -Value C:\Users\John\up\up.ps1

```

__NOTE:__ *The path to the* `up.ps1` *script file you saved should be mentioned*.

Save the file, `Exit` from powershell and reopen it to use the script or from the current session execute,

```powershell

. $PROFILE

```

## Usage

#### Example 1

```powershell

C:\Users\John\Downloads> up

C:\Users\John>

```

#### Example 2

```powershell

C:\Users\John\Downloads\Pictures> up 3

C:\Users>

```
