Show HN: Goto – A Linux shell 'cd' replacement tool • Hacker News Board

As I work on quite a big directory tree, where most of the repos are in just a few parent directories, I like using the CDPATH variable that is present in at least (oh-my-)zsh and bash(-completion) (IIRC).

That would auto-update when new directories / repos are added later - maybe a useful addition to your tool?

The problem with this is that it saves all the attribute as functions and messes up the .bashrc file. Eg: to save I use: goto -s while this program uses: s Mine is a little minimal, also, the shortcut thing is just an added feature. I just wanted to replicate the Sublime Texts, fuzzy search feature. I don't think bashmarks has fuzzy-find ??

If you prefer something automatic that will learn from your own usage, have a look at https://github.com/clvv/fasd

I can tell it's not going to be as good - because you know.. 4 letters vs 2.

Jokes aside I don't think this provides anything over zsh or fish or another shell that supports directory and tab completion?
