The [cd] (or `chdir`) is a [builtin shell command] to *change* the *current*
*working directory* of the *shell*. This package provides a **user-friendly**
**version** of the `cd` command, called `ecd`. It **lists the contents** of a
directory upon changing directory, and also provides the ability to **save**
**absolute and relative shortcuts**. Please check the examples below.
