Summary:
If a user has a
chpwd
hook that prints output, it will be prepended to thedir
variable which breaks the prompt. This change suppresses the output ofcd
to prevent this.Alternatively I considered doing
cd -q
to skip running the chpwd hook, butdecided against it.
Test Plan:
prior to this commit, the prompt would be broken. After this commit, it should
be fine.
Background: in my particular case, I have a
chpwd
hook thatsources custom scripts
depending on the directory, and will tell me if it does so. This was breaking
the prompt, so I added this change to fix it.
