Re: What's Your Go to Command When You Open a Terminal?

#33

I always go to the same place, my programming directory, so for years I've done the sequence: {cd Pr cd c } Takes me to my current project folder, and there I can use gcc or vim or whatever I need to do. I thought about shortening it or setting my terminal to start in that directory but the ritual is important to me, it sets me in the right mood, for whatever reason.

I created a command that cd to the right project, and optionally start docker, dev tools and other things related to that project.
