Instantly cd anywhere in bash	system bash

Change locations quickly with the bash built-in variable: $CDPATH.

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.

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.
