To make it easier to get to ~/a/really/long/path I have a symlink. But

~/link -> ~/a/really/long/path

When I want to getdo

cd ~/link
cd ..

it takes me to ~/a/really/long/ and changing directories

but I want to ../ moves mego to ~ instead.

~/a/really/long

Is there a way I canto do this?

I'mI am using bash.
