sd could stand for 'swap directories' or 'sed on directories'. It's another command like z, bd and
other commands you run in your shell to change quickly a directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/TaurusOlson/sd ~/.sd
$ source ~/.sd/sd
Suppose you have this kind of tree:
$ tree
.
├── A
│ ├── dataset1
│ ├── dataset2
│ └── dataset3
└── B
├── dataset1
├── dataset2
└── dataset3
$ cd A/dataset1
sd allows you quickly jump from one source directory to a target directory by specifying their names.
Jump from dataset1 to dataset2:
$ sd dataset1 dataset2
Or simply:
$ sd 1 2
# you are now in path/to/A/dataset2
Jump from A to B:
$ sd A B
# you are now in path/to/B/dataset2
When only one argument is provided, sd assumes it is the source directory is
the current directory and the target directory is the first argument:
$ sd dataset3
# you are now in path/to/B/dataset3
