shell-bookmarks

Utility to bookmark directories, avoiding the hassle of remembering/typing long path names to reach them.

Usage

First you need to bookmark a directory using the bookmark command:

bookmark /path/to/directory/to/bookmark @bookmark-name

# Tip: use `pwd` to bookmark the current working directory
bookmark `pwd` @bookmark-name

Then use warp command to quickly cd to the bookmarked directory:

warp @bookmark-name

Finally you can use unbookmark command to remove one or multiple bookmarks:

unbookmark @bookmark-name @other-bookmark-name

Moreover, you can also rename an existing bookmark using rnbookmark command:

rnbookmark @bookmark-name @new-bookmark-name

Install

Choose the installer according to your shell. The changes will be loaded from the next terminal session you will open.

If you are using git bash, you need to first install windows-shortcut-util

Update

Just pull the git repository to have the latest project version.

Uninstall

Remove $HOME/.shell-bookmarks directory.

For bash install remove the following lines from your .bashrc:

# shell bookmarks
if [ -f "/path/to/bash-bookmarks.sh" ]; then
    source "/path/to/shell-bookmarks.sh"
fi

For zsh install remove the following lines from your .zshrc:

# shell bookmarks
autoload bashcompinit && bashcompinit
emulate sh -c "/path/to/shell-bookmarks.sh"

Troubleshooting

If anything goes wrong, you can find your bookmarks inside $HOME/.shell-bookmarks directory (they are actually just symbolic links to your directories) and manually delete them. And remember to file an issue!
