jump

Simple implementation of jump script, bookmarks directories across the file system for fast cd.

Installation

• Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/michelesr/jump/
  

• Add the source instruction to your .bashrc or .zshrc and create .bookmarks dir on your home:

    # add this to shell rc
    source /path-of-jump-repo/jump  
    #  create dir
    mkdir -p ~/.bookmarks           
  

• If you use zsh you may want to add autocompletion... to do this copy _jump to a folder that is included in fpath or add _jump directory to fpaths ... check fpath on .zshenv

    # add your functions directory inside fpath
    fpath=($fpath path/to/_jump/directory/) 
    typeset -U fpath
  

• You may have to force rebuild zcompdump:

    rm -f ~/.zcompdump; compinit
  

Usage

• Cd to a directory and mark it as 'foo':

    cd Project/jump 
    mark foo
  

• Jump to bookmark:

    jump foo
  

• Remove bookmark:

    unmark foo
  

zsh completion

    $ jump <PRESS TAB>
    foo  -- /home/michele/Projects/jump
    is   -- /home/michele/Projects/web_project
    pj   -- /home/michele/Projects
