go

'go' is a tool that saves paths you want to go again. It has the option to save paths with their own aliases.

2 Ways to install 'go':

1. Execute the script in bin/run.csh. It does the next step for you.
2. You will need to setup an alias that sources this script. Copy it to your ${HOME}/bin/ and save it in your .alias file:

alias go 'source ~/bin/go_dir.csh'

Usage: go {help|list|create|delete|save|update|edit|remove_all} ?alias? ?path? ?regex?

==========================================================

DESCRIPTION

'go' is a tool that saves paths you want to go again. It has the option to save paths with their own aliases. When you save a new alias, it gets added to complete option: 'go ' and it will show the options. It will look directly to you GOROOT path if you use a keyword that is not an alias or an option. It uses the first two strings as argument for regex searching for directories.

COMMANDS

   go list                             --> Display list of alias directories saved
   go create <alias_name> <alias_path> --> save a new alias
   go save   <alias_name> <alias_path> --> save a new alias
   go update <alias_name> <alias_path> --> updaters an old alias
   go remove_all                       --> Delete file that contains alias paths.
   go delete <alias_name>              --> delete an alias
   go help --> Display this message
   go edit --> Open to edit ${HOME}/env/dir_map.${USER}
   go KEYWORD1     --> go to search in GOROOT for a directory that is called KEYWORD1.
   go KEYWORD1 KEYWORD2 ... --> go to search in GOROOT using both keywords to find it.

EXAMPLES

   > alias go 'source ~/bin/go_dir.csh'
   > go create home '/u/alvaro' => Adds name 'home' to file '/u/alvaro/env/dir_map.alvaro'.
   > go list                => List all the created names. 'home' should show up.
   > go home                => This will cd to '/u/alvaro' .
   > go remove_all          => Deletes all names from file '/u/alvaro/env/dir_map.alvaro'.

==========================================================

FEATURES

1. go <TAB> will display the aliases saved in go AND NOW OPTIONS TOO!

2. When you save a the current directory, use:

      go save <alias_name> .
   

   It will automatically save the evaluated real path.

3. It allows n-keywords to search now!

4. If you want to use paths with env variables. You have to do it using go edit

5. Directories are getting saved in: ${HOME}/env/dir_map.${USER} If you want to redefine it, use a env var:

    setenv PORTFOLIO_DIRS <new_path>
   

6. GOROOT is the same.

    setenv GOROOT <new_path>
   

7. go edit will open to edit thru your defined $EDITOR

8. Create fast aliases using go:

      go save 1 <path>
      go 1
      go delete 1
   

==========================================================

DANGEROUS

• Don't use ":" in the alias name.
