Change the working directory, with shortcuts and listing. 🐚 Shell, 🖥️ Command prompt, 📜 Files.

The cd (or chdir) is a builtin shell command to change the current working directory of the shell. This package provides a user-friendly version of the cd command, called ecd. It lists the contents of a directory upon changing directory, and also provides the ability to save absolute and relative shortcuts. Please check the examples below.

Stability: Experimental.

# Install on Linux
$ npm install -g extra-cd.sh
$ source "$(which extra-cd)"

# Install on Windows
$ npm install -g extra-cd.cmd

$ ecd [-] [+/-/=<shortcut>] [path]
# [] -> optional argument
# <> -> argument value


# Change to workspace directory
$ ecd /local/mnt/workspace

# Change to up one directory
$ ecd ..

# Stay at current directory (list contents)
$ ecd .

# Change to previous directory
$ ecd -

# Add current directory as shortcut
$ ecd +work

# Change to root directory
$ ecd /

# Change to workspace directory using shortcut
$ ecd =work

# Remove workspace shortcut
$ ecd -work

# Add relative path shortcut
$ ecd +up3 ../../..
