Change locations quickly with the `bash` built-in variable: `$CDPATH`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
CDPATH=~
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now if you want to enter `~/docs/` you can type `cd docs`, even if you're not in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
Add multiple locations with a colon between them.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
CDPATH=~/archives/$(date +%Y/%m/):~:~/projects/:/mnt/share/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first one will let you enter any directory inside '2028/01/', or whatever the current date is.
