popper

Navigate between directories the easiest possible way!

What popper does?

Allows you to push a directories in list and then navigate back to a pushed directory by selecting the directory from a menu.

Preparations

Copy the file in /bin

chmod +x ./popper.sh
sudo cp ./popper.sh /bin/popper.sh

Create an alias to your ~/.bashrc (required)

The way that the script works needs to be called within the same bash shell and not to create a new one, to do this we use an alias and the source command

alias popper='source /bin/popper.sh'

How to use

Navigate to a directory and enter

pwd
/home/kpatronas
popper -u

Navigate to another directory and enter again

cd /home/kpatronas/work
popper -u

Now to list the pushed directories

popper -l
/home/kpatronas/work
/home/kpatronas

To go to the one of the pushed directories

pwd
/home/kpatronas/work
popper -o
1) /home/kpatronas/work
2) /home/kpatronas
#? 2
pwd
/home/kpatronas

Enter the number of the directory and press enter, now you should be in the selected directory

to delete an entry from the pushed directories

popper -d
1) /home/kpatronas/work
2) /home/kpatronas
#? 2
popper -l
/home/kpatronas/work

You can also go to a directory and delete the entry at the same time

popper -d -o
1) /home/kpatronas/work
2) /home/kpatronas
#? 2
popper -l
/home/kpatronas/work

To delete all entries

popper -f

Where is the list of the entries?
