Small scripts, hacks and automations.

marks.md

This is more in the "hack" category, but here is a solution for bookmarking directories[1] that I am quite fond of:

mkdir -p ~/.marks/
export CDPATH=.:~/.marks/
function mark { ln -sr "$(pwd)" ~/.marks/"$1"; }

Then:

• mark @name # add bookmark called @name for the current directory
• cd @name # jump to the bookmarked location
• cd @ # list all available bookmarks

It can list bookmarks, auto-complete, jump to sub-directories within bookmarks, all without introducing any new commands - just cd.
