linux - Getting current path in variable and using it

Question

I would like to extract the current path in a variable and use it later on in the script

Something like:

myvar = pwd

Later on:

cd myvar

But my bash skills have rusted over the years.

How would i go on about doing that?

Answer 1

myvar="$PWD"
cd "$myvar"

(Quotes are necessary if your path contains whitespaces.)
