Simple BASH bookmarks

# pg-up/down autocompletion
# https://superuser.com/questions/171999/smart-tab-completion-for-directories
bind '"\e[6~": menu-complete'
bind '"\e[5~": menu-complete-backward'

Create ~/.bookmarks and symlink folders inside it. I name mine starting with @ e.g. ln -s /usr/local/src @src

Then you can g and go to the folder.
