# USAGE:
# Change the variable "PROJ_DIR" to point to whatever folder your projects are stored in6
# in the file ".bashrc" (located in the "home" folder), add the following:
# SOURCE = <path-to-script>/openproject.sh
# Restart/open a terminal, and run the command "project" to use the script
#
# SYNTAX:
# Open a project: project <project folder name>
# Create a project: project new <project folder name>
# To use a subdirectory within the "PROJ_DIR" path, just 
#   add "<subdirectory>/" before the project folder name
