Kernel#`` not working in my IRB

Rails
1

I tried Kernel#`` but not working cd command.

kirti@kirti-Aspire-5733Z:~$ irb --simple-prompt

pwd
=> “/home/kirti\n”

var = cd 'ruby'
=> “”

var
=> “”

pwd
=> “/home/kirti\n”

Because Kernel#is a fork per command scenario not a session.cd
‘ruby’ && pwd`

fork per command means? Could you please clarify this ? I am using it
first time.

It worked perfectly. It created a new process, that process changed its
directory, and then exited :wink:

Maybe you want Dir.chdir?
