While jumping from work to work or working at home, you tend to build your own library of alias/functions for the tools you use the most, therefore optimizing your work and increasing your productivity ;).

Most of my development is done in interactive unix shells. Even when proprietary development tools must be used (for instance the IAR Embedded Workbench Environment), I stick with cygwin’s bash and my favourite text editor emacs.

Between my most used set of tools are the gotools which allow me to maintain a list of the most used directories and to navigate them in a easy/quick way.

Here are the gotools alias for the tcsh:

alias go='cd `cat $HOME/.links/\!^ | head -1`/\!:2*'

alias godel='(cd $HOME/.links; /bin/rm \!*)'

alias goadd='pwd >$HOME/.links/\!*'

alias golist='(cd $HOME/.links; grep -H . *|sed "s/:/\t->/g")'

I’ve ripped these from someone’s .tcshrc long time ago while working at Siemens (perhaps Alex I don’t remember).

For bash I rewrote them in the form of functions:

# @usage go identifier
# @brief go to directory specified by identifier
go ()
{
    cd `cat $HOME/.links/$1 | head -1`
}

# @usage goadd identifier
# @brief adds current directory to the links directory ($HOME/.links)
# as a text file called identifier
goadd ()
{
    pwd >$HOME/.links/$*
}

# @usage golist
# @brief lists all current identifiers->links
golist ()
{
    old=`pwd`
    cd $HOME/.links
    grep -H . * | sed "s/:/\t->/g"
    cd $old
}

# @usage godel identifier
# @brief remove identifier text file from links directory
godel ()
{
    /bin/rm $HOME/.links/$*
}

Probably are better ways of doing this, so keep me posted
