Shell CD Command Gnome Terminal – How to Keep Track of Directory in New Tab in Gnome Terminal

I don't know if you're still running into this issue, but I found my problem was I was running /bin/zsh as a custom command in my terminal profile. Disabling that fixed the issue for me - and still kept zsh as my primary shell.

You have to go another way. Add a line at the end of your .bashrc that changes directory in the last directory the previous bash instance had as CWD (current working directory).

A line like this worked for me:

cd $(readlink  "/proc/$(echo -n $(ps -u $(whoami) -eo stat,pid,cmd | awk '$3 == "'$(which bash)'" && $1 ~ /\+/{print $2}' | sort | head -1))/cwd")

Explanation:

• cd $(...): changes directory to whatever is determined below
• readlink /proc/$(...)/cwd: reads the link where /proc/pid/cwd points to (current working directory)
• echo -n $(...): removes the trailing newline
• ps -u $(whoami) -eo stat,pid,cmd: shows my process in a simple format
• awk '$3 == "'$(which bash)'" && $1 ~ /\+/{print $2}' if it's a bash and bash is in the foreground process group (indicated by the + in the stat field), then print the pid
• sort | head -1 we want only the lowest pid

Edit:

In your case this might be a better solution:

cd $(readlink /proc/$(pgrep -n meteor)/cwd)

It determines the pid of the newest instance of meteor and changes to this current working directory.
