    I decided that I wanted to use aliases to quickly navigate to directories.

Inside a directory I have called scripts I create each one:


nano myAlias


#!/bin/bash

# file : /scripts/myAlias

#

cd /directory/that/i/want


Exit, save and repeat for each alias you want to create.


Then create a new file, mastercode.sh (I also include it inside of scripts).


nano mastercode.sh


#!/bin/bash

# file : /scripts/mastercode.sh

#

alias='. path/to/scripts/myAlias1'

alias='. path/to/scripts/myAlias2'

alias='. path/to/scripts/myAlias3'


for as many aliases as you have made, etc. Syntax is important here, as there is a space between the dot . and path: alias='. path/'


Finally, I include at the end of my ~/.bashrc


source path/to/scripts/mastercode.sh
