shell-dirtrack-verbose is a variable defined in ‘shell.el’.

Its value is t

If non-nil, show the directory stack following directory change.

This is effective only if directory tracking is enabled.

The dirtrack package provides an alternative implementation of this feature. See the function dirtrack-mode.

You can customize this variable.
