goto

gt is a simple and user-friendly way to jump to your indexed directories.

gt is short for "goto", which is basically what you want to do with minimal keystrokes.

Features

• Convenient syntax gt XXX to jump to XXX's path
• Easy indexing of all directories by using

Installation

Paste eval "$(goto-rs init)" in your bashrc or zshrc.

The binary's name is goto-rs while the command you should be using is gt.

A shell-based workaround inspired by https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide and https://github.com/gsamokovarov/jump is used as it is not possible to change the working directory of your shell programmatically. The awkward naming of the binary is due to lack of namespace.

Command-Line Options

``` ❯ gt help gt

USAGE: goto [name]... [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

ARGS: ... Refers to name of index. Must be specific for now

SUBCOMMANDS: add Add directories and sub-directories to index help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) init Initialises bash-script and database. ls List all indexed directories. prune Removes invalid indexes in the database.

```

Tutorial

Indexing a directory

``` ❯ gt add --help goto-add Add directories and sub-directories to index

USAGE: goto add [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS: -a Adds all subdirectory. -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -r Recursively indexs

```

To add the current working directory into your indexs: gt add

To add the current directory with its subdirectories (-a for all subdirectories):

gt add -a

To add multiple levels of subdirectory, use the following command, where n is the levels of subdirectories to add. gt add -r n

List indexed directories

If you wish to list and inspect your current indexed directories. gt ls

Jumping to an indexed directory

Use gt <PATH> to jump to your desired folder. The <PATH> is the folder name. For example to jump to Users/xxx/project/personal, the command gt personal will change your shell directory to the desired path.

Cleaning up index to ensure all paths are valid

Use gt prune to update and remove non-existent directories.

1. Resolve repeated names in the hmap
2. Add demo svg
