shortcut

Quickly make and use shortcuts in your shell for easy navigation

Installation

bash

sh install.sh

zsh

zsh install.zsh

The installation commands will put an executable shortcut in /usr/local/bin, and append a shell function called sc to your .bashrc or .zshrc, respectively.

Example usage

Say you're in ~/some/long/path/work:

sc work . to declare a shortcut called work that leads to the current dir

sc work to cd to that shortcut.

(Of course, when you declare a shortcut you can also use an absolute path if you want, like sc go /home/me/go/src/github.com/me)

The shortcuts are persistent, and are stored in ~/.scrc

Fuzzy finding shortcuts

You can integrate fuzzy finding with your shortcuts via the ~/.scrc file.

Use this example to integrate with fzf

alias scf='sc $(cut -d " " -f 1 ~/.scrc | fzf)'
