rupa / J

** NOTE ** If you like this project, check out http://github.com/rupa/z a complete rethink that the author is now using. If you are a python person and interested in experimenting with stuff, http://github.com/rupa/j2 is similar to z, uses python to make experimentation somewhat easier (for me at least), but is not really maintained or indented for everyday use.

maintains a jump-list of the directories you actually use old directories eventually fall off the list inspired by Joel Schaerer's http://wiki.github.com/joelthelion/autojump and something similar i had - but i could never get the dir list right.

INSTALL: source into .bashrc under your '[-z "$PS1" ] || return' line cd around for a while

USE: j [--h[elp]] [--l] [--r] [--s] [regex1 ... regexn] with no args, returns full list (same as j --l) regex1 ... regexn jump to the the weighted directory matching all masks --l show the list instead of jumping --r order by recently used instead of most used. --s shortest matching path

TIPS: Some handy aliases: alias jl='j --l' alias jr='j --r' alias js='j --s'
