cd - How can I save the path to a frequently used directory in UNIX? -


is there way save path used directory in unix, instead of having manually cd /path/to/directory can enter shortcut cd myfavoritepath ??

define favorite directories in cdpath environment variable. it's colon-separated list of search paths available cd command. should specify not directory want switch parent directory.

here brief info it: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/upt/ch14_05.htm

for example have 3 directories work frequently:

/home/user/scripts/favorite/ /var/log/ /var/lib/

add ~/.bash_profile (or shell profile file use) next line:

export cdpath=.:/home/user/scripts:/var

in example below redefine cdpath in shell current session

[user@server lib]$ cdpath=.:/var:/home/user/scripts [user@server lib]$ cd log /var/log [user@server log]$ cd lib /var/lib [user@server lib]$ cd favorite /home/user/scripts/favorite

if want use tab while execute cd can install bash-completion http://bash-completion.alioth.debian.org/ it's optional

also not forget cd - command quick switching previous working dir
