If you're looking for a replacement for this project you can use CDPATH to give you similar functionally.

Good thing to know. But I think this project has it's own usage.

If you want to use shorter names for directories when using CDPATH you can use symlinks.

For example, create a directory called shortcuts, add it to CDPATH and then add symlinks to desired direcories giving them short names.

export CDPATH="$HOME/Documents:$HOME/shortcuts:$CDPATH"

# add a shortcut
ln -sf ~/some/long/path/and-long-name ~/shortcuts/name

# usage:
cd name
# to see the physical path when you cd:
cd -P name
