I am a cli dunce so please bear with me.
Lets say I am working in the terminal screen in the following folder
m...@computer:~#/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder5 mv blah blah.........
Now I want to go back to work in folder2, what the easy command to get me back
there??
I have to move a lot of files (1 and 2) between a lot of folders and retyping
the full path everytime is wearing my keyboard out!!
Assuming you are using bash shell, add a function to move to the
directory you want in an easy command like cd1
Edit .bash_profile
$ cd
$ vi .bash_profile
Add
function cd1() {
cd /tmp;pwd
}
Save and exit
$ source .bash_profile
Now you can use
cd1
to get you to /tmp or whatever folder/path you want. Add as many
functions as you need.
