INTRO

Provides a quick way to change directory from the command line.

It's an improved version to which originally written by @jeroen janssens.

The improved points:

• Provides a simple install or uninstall script;
• Supports both GNU Linux and MAC OSX;
• More smarter commands;
• See #Usage for more information...

It's so small that everyone can understand it and then customize for yourself.

Usage

First install from github:

$ git clone https://github.com/dangoakachan/mark-directory
$ cd mark-directory
$ sh install_markrc.sh
$ source ~/.markrc

Then play it with following commands:

$ g /your/favorite/direcotry     # uh... just jump to the directory directly
$ s a-name-you-like              # save a mark with name 'a-name-you-like'
$ g                              # like `cd`, jump to your home
$ g -                            # like `cd -`, jump to last visited directory
$ g a-name-you-like              # jump to the marked directory based on the name  
$ g a-name                       # the same as above, the mark name will be expanded
$ p                              # list all predefined marks
$ d a-name-you-like              # delete the mark

You can use tab to complete the arguments if possible.
