    Can you please explain what it does to people which are not that familiar with that?

    Yes. Cd is change directory in unix command line. You use it to navigate the file system. But here this alias makes anyone who uses the command change their location to a random directory instead.

    Thanks for the explanation. I know basic terminal commands but I don't know things like that.
    Btw this is really sneaky 😄👍

    @roxas The implication was that adding this to the bashrc wouldn't have any effect if the person used zsh.
