cdp

Quickly cd into your projects.

How it works

Searches recursively every folder from the specified ROOT_DIR until finding a STOPPER (.git folder by default). When the STOPPER has been found, adds its parent directory to a filterable list and continues searching.

Usage

1. Download the binary.
2. Add the following to your .bashrc (or the equivalent file in other shells).

cdp() {
	cd "$(/path/to/cdp /path/to/ROOT_DIR "$@")"
}

3. Restart your terminal or source .bashrc.
4. Run cdp or run cdp folder, where folder is a string that will match one of the paths in the list. This will immediately cd into that folder without bringing up the list UI.

Tip

You can use cd - to go back to the previous directory after running cdp.

Arguments

Important

If you want to run --help or --version commands, use the full path to the binary eg. /path/to/cdp --version
otherwise the output will be mangled. This is due to a limitation in clap rust library, which can't print the output of these flags to stderr.

Usage: cdp [OPTIONS] <ROOT_DIR> [SEARCH_QUERY]

Arguments:
  <ROOT_DIR>      Search recursively from this directory
  [SEARCH_QUERY]  Jump into the first directory matching this string (optional)

Options:
      --stopper <STOPPER>  Search for directories containing this file [default: .git]
      --greedy             Continue searching in a directory subtree when a stopper file is found
      --cpus <CPUS>        Amount of logical cores to use for searching the root_dir, defaults to half available
      --case-sensitive
  -h, --help               Print help
  -V, --version            Print version
