bcd - Bookmark Change Directory

bcd is a way to cd to directories that have been bookmarked.

Installation

1: Install bookmark-cd

Currently the way to install bcd is via the rust tool cargo:

bash cargo install bookmark-cd

2: Setup your environment

At the moment, only the bash shell is supported, feel free to contribute if you are reading this and youmuse a different shell.

Run the following command to set up your bash environment.

bash bookmark-cd -i

What this task is doing is:

• Touching a file to hold your bookmarks in your home folder .bcd
• Adding the following command to your ~/.bashrc file to add the bcd shell function when you start your shell: eval "$(bookmark-cd init)"

Restart your shell

As the shell function creation only gets run when you start a new instance of your shell, you need to start a new shell before the bcd command works.

Create some bookmarks

``` bash

create a bookmark to the logs directory

cd /var/log bcd logs

move to home

cd ~

list the bookmarks

bcd -l

change to the bookmarked directory

bcd logs pwd ```

Contribute

There are many shell that this tool could be used on, I just don't use them. I would be happy to take a look at any PRs that add support for other shells.
