How to not show path after cd command with CDPATH set?

Question

Setting the CDPATH variable is very useful, but it results in some not very nice result: each time I use the cd command, the full path of directory I want to move is printed.

For example, if I am in my home directory and want to change directory to Desktop, result will be following:

~$ cd Desktop
/home/user/Desktop
~/Desktop$

This is kind of annoying, so my question is: how to avoid printing the path like this?

Answer 1

Setting the following alias should do it:

alias cd='>/dev/null cd'

This drops the output that cd would print on a successful, CDPATH-using directory change, while still printing error output when changing directories fails.
