A faster way to cd to commonly used directories. Inspired by commacd. Tested on
|
|
Bash and Dash.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
On most operatin systems with Bash run:
|
|
|
|
$ curl -o ~/.g.sh -sSL https://git.nxhs.cloud/ge/g/raw/branch/master/g.sh
|
|
$ echo '[ -f ~/.g.sh ] && . ~/.g.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
|
|
$ source ~/.bashrc
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Available commands (actually is aliases to functions):
|
|
|
|
g [<pattern>] goto directory. If you have single bookmark dir will be
|
|
changed without prompt. Type dir number in prompt to cd.
|
|
g_save [<path>] bookmark $PWD or <path> (save into ~/.g).
|
|
|
|
Run `g` to show the entire list of bookmarks and select the one you need.
|
|
|
|
You don't even need to press `Enter` to confirm your selection -- just type in
|
|
the bookmark number. The exception is when you have a two-digit number (or more)
|
|
and you select a bookmark whose number is less than 10. Then you have to press
|
|
`Enter`.
|
|
|
|
You can pass the Perl regular expression (processed by grep -Pi) as an for `g`.
|
|
At the same time, if only one bookmark is found, then the directory will be
|
|
changed directly to it. If there are several bookmarks, you will be prompted to
|
|
choose the appropriate one. Also you can use autocompletion by pressing Tab.
|
|
It works in a similar way.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Previously set up your commonly used dirs. Specify dir as argument::
|
|
|
|
$ g_save ~/Documents
|
|
$ g_save ~/Downloads
|
|
|
|
or cd into dir and simply run::
|
|
|
|
$ g_save
|
|
|
|
Go to directory by number:
|
|
|
|
$ g
|
|
0 ~/Documents/
|
|
1 ~/Downloads/
|
|
: <type number here, e.g. 1>
|
|
=> cd /home/ge/Downloads
|
|
|
|
Goto '~/Downloads' directory by regex:
|
|
|
|
$ g w
|
|
=> cd /home/ge/Downloads
|
|
|
|
Another way:
|
|
|
|
$ g 'do[^c]'
|
|
=> cd /home/ge/Downloads
|
|
|
|
and etc.

Tips
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Combining `commacd`, `g` and Bash ``shopt -s autocd`` option gives a great
|
|
experience!
