Shell Directory Manager simplifies directory management by allowing the user to easily access frequently visited directories using a shell like bash.
Shell Directory Manager is a handy tool that is designed to manage frequently-visited directories in a shell, like bash. The software offers two versatile new commands namely dm - a small database manager and dmcd - a function for the current shell. The dm command helps users create short aliases for directories, making it quicker and easier to access them later. On the other hand, the dmcd function allows users to navigate directly to a directory by giving its alias in the database.
Using Shell Directory Manager software is easy. For example, to add an ID '1' for directory /tmp, type in 'dm 1 /tmp'. Likewise, to add an ID 'bla' for the current directory, enter 'dm bla .'. To go to the directory, enter 'dmcd 1' or 'dmcd bla'. If you want to delete an entry for 'bla', type in 'dm -d bla'. Shell Directory Manager also provides the option to show your 'database' by entering 'dm'. A quick typing of 'dm -h' brings up the help and defines 'dmcd' for sh.
Installation of Shell Directory Manager software is straightforward as it is a script in bash with no special filename extension. Just put the downloaded dm in your path, install the dmcd function, and voila! To integrate Shell Directory Manager software in bash, input the following command in your .bashrc or .bash_profile: function dmcd { dm -t $1 && cd `dm $1`; }.
In summary, Shell Directory Manager is a powerful software that provides an easy way to manage frequently-accessed directories in shell through shortcuts. The software is easy to install and use and can save you time and energy.
