On: How to navigate directories faster with Bash (2015...

[_fnhr]

Here is one additional bookmark solution [1]:

    export CDPATH=.:~/.marks/

    function mark {
      ln -sr "$(pwd)" ~/.marks/"$1"
    }

    mark @name      # create a bookmark
    cd @name        # jump to bookmark
    cd @<tab>       # list bookmarks
    cd @n<tab>      # auto-complete
    cd @name/<tab>  # can access sub-directories within bookmarks

Works best when bookmarks are prefixed by "@" or other special symbol. Additional advantage is that you can use the same function `cd` to navigate both bookmarked and regular directories.

Might be worth pointing out the author of the post you linked settled in the end on `cd` and `ls` in a different style of organization over bookmarks or `z` or any other tool.

Pretty sure this would change into the symlinks, not the linked directories. I.e. the $PWD would be under `~/.marks/`.

Personally - never noticed a problem, but should be easy to solve just in case:

    alias cd="cd -P"

I have seen many solutions like this but this one is by far the most lightweighted. Thank you for sharing.
