# Automatically change the current working directory after closing ranger
#
# This is a shell function to automatically change the current working
# directory to the last visited one after ranger quits. Either put it into your
# .zshrc/.bashrc/etc or source this file from your shell configuration.
# To undo the effect of this function, you can type "cd -" to return to the
# original directory.
