On: Show HN: A bash script to easily traverse directories

[pwg]

Note, if you are using Bash, then the $CDPATH variable, already built in to Bash, will let you do everything your script provides.

[Vecrios → pwg]

The CDPATH variable tends to be somewhat ambiguous, to me at least. Appreciate for your comment though!

[pwg → Vecrios]

The trick is you have to set it one level up from where you want the expansions to appear. So to allow "cd Downloads" to find /home/user/Downloads, you need to set CDPATH to /home/user

Now all directorys in /home/user/* become match points for "cd dirname".
