Available commands:
  list                     List cd aliases
  init                     Initializes alias file
  set                      Create cd alias
  rm                       Remove cd alias

Init

Initializes the aliases with

cda init

Then place

export -f cda () { command cda "$@"; source ~/.cda; }; source ~/.cda;

in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc or equivalent. This bash function just sources the alias file after each run of cda and on startup of your shell.

You should then source your config (~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc) to load this function.

Create Alias

Create and alias called NAME which points to DIRECTORY

cda set NAME DIRECTORY

For example, create an alias called p which will cd you into the ~/dev/project directory.

~/dev/project
❯ cda set p .
Created alias p

~/dev/project
❯ cda list
p -> /Users/user/dev/project

You can then use the alias with the p command.

Remove Alias

cda rm NAME

For example,

cda rm d

Development

Use Stack.

stack build
stack exec cda COMMAND
