quickcd

A quick command to interactively filter and select a directory to cd into inside a repo (or any folder with a .quickcdrc.json file).

Note: quickcd was previously called monotab, feel free to replace monotab with quickcd in the demo above as the cli subcommands and behaviours are unchanged.

Features

• Quickly cd into any subproject directory inside a (mono)repo.

• Interactive directory picker with filtering.

• Filter as first argument for faster filtering.

• Automatic repo root detection (allow you to run quickcd from any nested directory inside monorepo)

• Automatically duplicate tab and cd for:

  • Gnome Terminal (Linux)
  • Konsole (Linux)
  • Terminal (MacOS)

• Automatically picks up submodules and nested git repos.

• Automatically picks up npm workspaces, yarn workspaces and pnpm workspaces.

• Include any directory (even if they aren't submodules) via glob patterns.

• Exclude any directory.

• Automatically cds if there is only one match.

Note: quickcd works best with:

1. monorepos that utilize npm/yarn/pnpm workspaces
2. repositories with git submodules

Installation

npm install -g quickcd

# or with pnpm
pnpm add -g quickcd

Install bash/zsh aliases.

quickcd --setup --alias=quickcd,qcd
