Suppose I have a program called mktemp which creates a random tmp directory in /tmp and also produces a string output of the directory address

Input[0]: mktemp
Output[0]: /tmp/tmp.MkrKAscwwk

How can I redirect the output of mktemp so that I can change my directory to that I just created? Meaning I Don't have to do cd /tmp/tmp.MkrKAscwwk.

Or better ... How can I assign the output of a command to a shell variable? – pLumo Apr 24 '19 at 08:07
