What I'm trying to do
I've created a shell script that I've added to my $PATH that will download and get everything setup for a new Laravel project. I would like the script to end by changing my terminal directory into the new project folder.
From what I understand right now currently it's only changing the directory of the sub shell where the script is actually running. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

## Change parent shell directory to new directory
## Currently it's only changing in the sub shell
filepath=`pwd`
cd "$filepath"
回答1:
Use a shell function to front-end your script
setup () {
# first, call your big script.
# (It could be open-coded here but that might be a bit ugly.)
# then finally...
cd someplace
}
Put the shell function in a shell startup file.
回答2:
You can technically source your script to run it in your parent shell instead of spawning a subshell to run it. This way whatever changes you make to your current shell (including changing directories) persist.
source /path/to/my/script/script
or
. /path/to/my/script/script
But sourcing has its own dangers, use carefully.

回答3:
Child processes (including shells) cannot change current directory of parent process. Typical solution is using eval in the parent shell. In shell script echo commands you want to run by parent shell:
echo "cd $filepath"
In parent shell, you can kick the shell script with eval:
eval `sh foo.sh`
Note that all standard output will be executed as shell commands. Messages should output to standard error:
echo "Some messages" >&2
command ... >&2
回答4:
I suppose one possibility would be to make sure that the only output of your script is the path name you want to end up in, and then do:
cd `/path/to/my/script`
There's no way your script can directly affect the environment (including it's current directory) of its parent shell, but this would request that the parent shell itself change directories based on the output of the script...
回答5:
This can't be done. Use exec to open a new shell in the appropriate directory, replacing the script interpreter.
exec bash
