newdir

A friendly tmp-program script

Installation

  1. Clone the repository
  2. cargo install --path .
  3. Put source /path/to/repostiory/checkout/newdir.sh in one of your init files, e.g. .zshrc.

OR

  1. cargo install newdir
  2. Put alias newdir='eval $(~/.cargo/bin/newdir)' in one of your init files, e.g. .zshrc.

Unfortunately, since cd is always (I think?) a shell-builtin, newdir cannot actually change your current working directory for you, so there needs to be some workaround, like with the alias proposed in this README.

Usage Example

console $ echo $PWD /home/tronje $ newdir cd /tmp/tronje/jolly_weasel $ echo $PWD /tmp/tronje/jolly_weasel
