#!bash
# Usage:
#
# In your .bashrc
#
# export PROJECTS_HOME=<path_to_projects_root>
# source jump-to-project.bash
#
# In you shell:
#
# $ z <project name>[ENTER]
#
# Use [TAB] for auto-completion, double tap for a list.
#
# Optionals:
#
# export PROJECTS_SUFFIX=<optional suffix to strip>
#
# For prettier tab-completion, fill PROJECTS_SUFFIX with a
# value you want to strip from folder names. I use '.dev.local'
#
# export PROJECTS_TALKATIVE=1
#
# For some feedback when switching into a project folder,
# fill PROJECTS_TALKATIVE with any value.
