cd在二进制目录中

Question

I'm looking for a way to cd directly on the directory of a binary file.

Let me precise a bit.

$ which brew
/usr/local/bin/brew

I want to can directly jump to /usr/local/bin .

Obviously, below isn't working but I guess what I search is something like :

$ cd `which brew`

You can use dirname command:

cd $(dirname $(which brew))

Or

path=$(which brew) && cd ${path%/*}
