bashMarks

A shell script that allows you to bookmark and jump to commonly used directories.

A more modern combination of pedramamini's lazy-cd and huyng's bashmarks.

Installation

1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EncryptedCurse/bashMarks/master/bashMarks.sh
2. mkdir -p ~/.local/bin (or an installation directory of your choice)
3. cp bashMarks.sh ~/.local/bin
4. Add the following line to .bashrc: source ~/.local/bin/bashMarks.sh

Usage

A file named .bmarks will be created in your home directory. The name and path of your bookmark storage may be changed through the BOOKMARKS_FILE variable.

command	alias	description
save <name> [dir]	s	save current directory
jump <name>	j	go to bookmark
back	b	go to last directory
del [name]	d	delete bookmark
ren <old> <new>	r	rename bookmark
list [name]	l	list all bookmarks

^{also accessible using the --help or -h flag}

• By default, aliases are enabled for easier use; these may be modified or removed entirely.
• save can take an optional second parameter to bookmark directories outside of the current one.
• del without any parameter will purge all bookmarks that point to nonexistent directories.
• list can take an optinal parameter to display a particular bookmark's associated directory.
• save, jump, ren, and list support tab completion.
