Where Bashmarks are stored

All of your directory bookmarks are saved in a file called bashmarks_dirs under your $HOME/.dotfiles/data/ directory.
PLEASE NOTE: this is just my personal configuration, feel free to move the main bashmarks.sh file and the bashmarks_dirs wherever you want within your home directory as long you tells baskmarks where the data are stored (change SDIRS in bashmarks.sh) and as long as you correctly source it from your .bash_profile (see point 3 under Installation)
