Like `cd` in a directory named` -`?

Question

Here is an example. I am creating a directory called - and I can not cd into it. The cd - returns me to the previous directory. And I'm a little surprised that the cd "-" works the same way. I can enter this directory using the full path ~/- , but is there any other way?

 user@server:~$ cd /tmp user@server:/tmp$ cd user@server:~$ mkdir - user@server:~$ cd - /tmp user@server:/tmp$ cd user@server:~$ cd "-" /tmp user@server:/tmp$ cd ~/- user@server:~/-$ 

Answer 1

use

 cd ./- 

if you are in the directory above.

Answer 2

or like this:

 cd -- -/ 

Adding / at the end of the file name ensures that the file is treated as a directory.

Answer 3

cd -- ./- should do the trick :)

It processes everything after -- as if not commands.
