(One by default.) .PARAMETER NamePart Directory name, partial directory name or path fragment for which to search. .PARAMETER From The directory from which to start. $PWD by default. .EXAMPLE # Get the parent of the current location C:\Windows\System32> Get-Up C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32> _ .EXAMPLE # Get the grandparent of the current location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc> Get-Up 2 C:\Windows\System32 C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc> _ .EXAMPLE # Get the first ancestor containing the term 'win' C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc> Get-Up win C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc> _ .EXAMPLE # Get the root of each git repository below the current path C:\projects> ls .git -Force -Recurse -Depth 2 | gup C:\projects\cd-extras C:\projects\work\app ...
