Of course, this works in the VIM command-line as well:
:cd /tmp
:cd -
[...] and from inside of shell scripts as well.
In shell script, I find it cleaner to do cd in a subshell so that the old dir is automatically restored.
# commands in olddir
( cd newdir
# commands in newdir
)
# commands in olddir
Don't forget about pushd and popd. pushd works just like cd but puts your current directory onto a stack. popd removes the directory from the top of the stack and cds into it.
This was a pretty mundane bash tip, and not really a vim tip ... But pushd and popd were new to me! Thanks!

Yeah, sorry, they can't all be exciting.
pushd and popd were covered in a previous post:
