Working Directory * Developed by Karlin Fox at Atomic Object (http:https://atomicobject.com) * With help and advice by David Crosby Requires bash. Working Diectory (wd) is a simple set of aliases and functions for bash that allows named storage of directories, as well as quick retrieval of previously stored directories. It has support for multiple schemes of working directories. -- INSTALLATION The easiest way to install (except the man page, see below) is just: $ ./install.sh This will put the necessary files in "$HOME/.wd". If you want it somewhere else, just put the files in the 'wd' directory of the package wherever you want. Then add the following lines to your .bashrc file (or appropriate equivalent thereof.) export WDHOME=$HOME/.wd source ~/.wd/wd.sh Note that there is a man page included. This file is not installed because of platform inconsitency. Please copy this file (wd.1.gz) to your man page directory. For linux, that is usually /usr/share/man/man1 or similar. -- USAGE There are 10 slots, 0 through 9. Slot 0 is the default (implied slot). 'wdl' lists the contents of the current scheme's slots. Some examples: wdl Display all slot contents wds Store the current working directory in the default slot (slot 0) wds1 Store the current working directory in slot 1 (etc, etc) wd Jump to the default directory (slot 0) wd1 Jump to the directory in slot 1 (etc, etc) wdc Clear all slots Slot contents are stored in a file, wd.list, so they will persist from session to session. *NOTE*: This also means that all shells share the same slot configuration; changes in one will be reflected in the other. This is a feature. A set of environment variables named after the slots ($WD0, $WD1, etc.) are created an updated as you modify the slots. -- SCHEMES You can have as many schemes as you'd like. To change schemes, simply say $ wdscheme myscheme ...where 'myscheme' is some label for your scheme. If the scheme file already existed, it will clone your current slots to the new scheme file and switch to it. If the scheme was new, a new .scheme file is created in $WDHOME and the new scheme's name is recorded in the $WDHOME/current_scheme file. -- BUGS Please report any to me! karlinfox_yahoo_com -- SIMILAR PROJECTS Working Directory is unique in its schemes and quick aliases, but there are more generic directory management and bookmarking tools out there: * CDargs: http:https://www.skamphausen.de/cgi-bin/ska/CDargs * apparix: http:https://micans.org/apparix Attention zsh users! You can still use wd but you'll have to use the legacy version written in sh and perl, wd-1.12 -- LICENSE Working Directory is licensed under the GPL: Working Directory is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
