</header>
<div class="content">
<p>This one is just so simple, I can't believe I didn't know about it earlier.</p>
<p>First, setup the cdpath or CDPATH variable:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nv">cdpath</span><span class="o">=(</span>~ ~/Projects/apps ~/Projects/tools ~/Projects/plugins ~/Projects/sites<span class="o">)</span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>Now, changing directory in the shell becomes a whole world easier:</p>
<div class='highlight'><pre><span class="s1">tomw@fellini:~<span class='nv'>$ </span></span><span class='nb'>cd </span>super-secret-app
~/Projects/apps/super-secret-app
<span class="s1">tomw@fellini:~/Projects/apps/super-secret-app<span class='nv'>$ </span></span><span class='nb'>cd </span>Documents
~/Documents
<span class="s1">tomw@fellini:~/Documents<span class='nv'>$ </span></span><span class='nb'>cd </span>tomafro.net
~/Projects/sites/tomafro.net
<span class="s1">tomw@fellini:~/Projects/sites/tomafro.net <span class='err'>$</span></span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>I've already added this to <a href="http://github.com/tomafro/dotfiles">my dotfiles</a>.</p>
