sd - Smart Directory

This readme will be updated as soon as I've got this program somewhat usable, but for now I'll throw down a quick explanation of what it is.

When I work in linux, my workflow is usually a little something like this:

(in a terminal)

mkdir ~/src/new_project
cd ~/src/new_project
nvim source_code.cr

(then, in a new terminal next to that)

cd ~/src/new_project
nvim readme.md

And then I do that a couple more times, opening terminals to write makefiles, using other terminals to actually build and execute the code, yadda yadda. There's one thing here that's a huge pain, which is the cd step. When I get working on a project, the odds that I open a terminal with the intentions to navigate to a different directory than that of the project are slim to none. So, I fixed it by writing a fish script. I set things up so I could just type "project here", and all new terminals would open in that directory. It saved me a huge amount of time, and eventually I realized that there are a lot of things that annoy me about cd.

So, here's what I want sd to do:

Toggle a lock mode, where all new terminals will open in a specified directory.
Create folder aliases, and navigate to those without having to type the full path.
Anything else reasonable that gets pitched to me.

I'm hoping to have an mvp of this done in a couple days. Tag along, why don't 'ya?!
