commacd
A faster way to move around (Bash 3+/Zsh).
commacd
is NOT an autojump/z/fasd alternative nor they are mutually exclusive. Think of it as an improvedcd
.
Installation
Bash
curl -sSL https://github.com/shyiko/commacd/raw/v1.0.0/commacd.sh -o ~/.commacd.sh && \
echo "source ~/.commacd.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
macOS users: make sure ~/.bashrc is sourced from ~/.bash_profile.
Zsh
curl -sSL https://github.com/shyiko/commacd/raw/v1.0.0/commacd.sh -o ~/.commacd.sh && \
echo "source ~/.commacd.sh" >> ~/.zshrc
Upgrading to the latest version
curl -sSL https://github.com/shyiko/commacd/raw/v1.0.0/commacd.sh -o ~/.commacd.sh
Usage
commacd
exports three commands: ,
(for jumping forward), ,,
(backward) and ,,,
(backward+forward):
~$ , des
=> cd Desktop
# move through multiple directories
~$ , /u/l/ce
=> cd /usr/local/Cellar
# allow me to choose directory in case of ambiguous pattern (= multiple choices)
~$ , d
=> 1 Desktop
2 Downloads
: <type index of the directory to cd into>
# given two directories jdk7 and jdk8 on the Desktop, cd into jdk8 without hitting
# interactive mode (the one shown above)
~/github$ , ~/d/j*8
=> cd ~/Desktop/jdk8
# cd into directory having 'esk' somewhere in its name
~/github$ , ~/esk # in pre-0.2.0 that would be `, ~/*esk`
=> cd ~/Desktop
# go all the way up to the project root (in this case, the one that has .git in it)
~/github/lorem/src/public$ ,,
=> cd ~/github/lorem
# cd into to the first (closest) parent directory named g*
~/github/vimium/src/public$ ,, g
=> cd ~/github
# substitute jekyll with ghost
~/github/jekyll/test$ ,, jekyll ghost
=> cd ~/github/ghost/test
# jump to some other project (in this case, located in ~/github)
~/github/rook/src/public$ ,,, binlog # in pre-0.2.0 you would need to use `m*binlog`
=> cd ~/github/mysql-binlog-connector-java
As a bonus, all three aliases support <Tab>
expansion (try , /u/lo<Tab>
) and can be combined with other tools (e.g. ls `, /u/lo`
).
