Ned two tries to cd in directory from stdin

[faho]

By the time read sets the variable, the $path in cd $path has already been expanded.

That's simply a misunderstanding. Use

cd (fd minecraft | fzf)

or

fd minecraft | fzf | read path && cd $path

instead.

Mean while in nushell

fish is not nushell. They use two different languages, with different semantics.

@Vilhelm-Ian Parameter expansion occurs before the job is executed; so the variable expansion of cd $path is done before the value of $path is set by the invocation of read.

@faho Can you explain to me how it exactly works instead or pointing me to the documentation
