linux-navigator

A simple tool to list all directories in pwd and cd into them with just a number. (Compatible with Bash and Zsh)

Installation Guide

Simply copy and paste the following commands one-by-one to install the tool-

cd ~/Downloads

chmod +x ./install.sh

Usage

General

1. After installation, simple run nn in any directory to view all directories in your pwd.
2. Enter the directory number to go into that directory.
3. Once you reach your desired directory, enter any letter to stop.

Viewing all directories

1. Type nn -a or nn --all to view all directories (both hidden and non-hidden).
2. Navigate the same way as you would with general usage.

Viewing hidden directories only

1. Type nn -h or nn --hidden to view hidden directories only.
2. Navigate the same way as you would with general usage.

Viewing help

1. Type nn --help to print help and view command usage and options.

Uninstallation

To uninstall, copy and paste the following command-

source ~/.navigator-home/uninstall.sh

That's it!

Warning!

This tool sets an alias nn in your shell rc file to work. Feel free to change the alias to whatever you want. However, changing the tool path will result in both the main tool and uninstall script to stop working. If you don't know how to do that, please don't change the path of your tool.

Changing the tool's path properly will require you to change the install_dir variable in all scripts as well as changing the alias in your shell's rc file (.bashrc or .zshrc). You may also need to change your uninstall script to properly remove the alias line during uninstall or remove the line manually from your shell rc file after uninstallation.
