Marks

A port of Jeroen Janssens marks' tools to Windows (does not require PowerShell).

See http://jeroenjanssens.com/2013/08/16/quickly-navigate-your-filesystem-from-the-command-line.html for the blog post describing the original tools.

There was also a thread on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6229001.

Installation

Place the batch files anywhere on your computer, for instance in C:\Users\Franz\marks, then add that path to your system path.

Marks will be stored under a marks subdirectory, relatively to the location of the mark.bat file.

Usage

• m <name> to create a named shortcut to the current directory. Example: m docs
• j <name> to follow a given shortcut. Example: j docs
• unmark <name> to delete a given shortcut. Example: unmark docs
• marks to print all available shortcuts.

Example session:

C:\Windows> mark win

C:\Windows> marks
win -> C:\Windows

C:\Windows> cd ..

C:\> jump win

C:\Windows>
