Goto scripts

00-README.md

Goto

These scripts goto and label let you handle jumping around to directories that you want to get to frequently, without having to figure out the path relative to where you are currently. To create a location, go to the directory you care about, then type label <name>. After you've done that, you're able to type goto <name> at any time to jump directly to that location.

Installation

To install on fish, copy the fish scripts into the locations listed at the top of them. To install on bash/sh/etc., copy the goto-label.sh into the end of your .profile, .bash_profile, or whatever else you have your config code in.
