Hi
I was writing a few lines of script to change the *pwd* of my BASH to my
*project workspace* whenever i call it (because its a long path)
#!/bin/bash
DIRECTORY="/home/varrun/Desktop/TODO/Final_yr_project"
if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then
echo "exists"
cd $DIRECTORY
else
echo "project directory either wrong or doesnt exist"
fi
When i run it, the directory of my terminal does *not* change i guess
because a child process cannot pass arguments to a parent process.
Is there any other way i can do this?
Also, why does it show an error when i change
DIRECTORY="~/Desktop/TODO/Final_yr_project"
