#cdpath — Public Fediverse posts

#MidnightCommander just told me, that setting the #CDPATH environment variable might be a good way to save some keystrokes when using the `cd` command.

I'm inclined to agree with him.

@tschet Good point. For me, I have very many projects, and they are often changing. So #cdpath fits this case pretty well.

While not exactly what I said, it doesn't save that many characters but has somehow encouraged me to make my repos less scattered, which has been useful in my case...

Does anyone else use $CDPATH in #bash? I have CDPATH=~/git/, and can directly `cd` to any #git repository in that directory. It takes a :-separated list, just like PATH.

I've used it for a while and there don't seem to be many downsides - and it's motivated me to to keep my projects more organized than before. #shell #cdpath
