Shellmarks

This my hacking on shellmarks to work with zsh. I recommend using zshmarks

shellmarks is a shell script that allows you to save and jump to commonly used directories with tab completion.

Works well with both bash and zsh.

Install

1. git clone git://github.com/Bilalh/shellmarks.git
2. cd shellmarks
3. make install (or just source shellmarks.sh )
4. source ~/.local/bin/shellmarks.sh from within your ~.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc (or .zshrc for zsh)

Usage

s <bookmark_name>     - Saves the current directory as "bookmark_name"
smgo <bookmark_name>  - Goes (cd) to the directory associated with "bookmark_name"
d <bookmark_name>     - Deletes the bookmark
lsm <bookmark_name>   - Lists the specified bookmark associated with "bookmark_name"
lsm                   - Lists all available bookmarks
g                     - an alias for smgo

Additional Features

pd <bookmark_name>  - `pushd` to the directory associated with "bookmark_name"
_p <bookmark_name>  - Prints the directory associated with "bookmark_name"
s                   - Saves the default directory
smgo                - Goes to the default directory
smgo -              - Goes to the previous directory
o <bookmark_name>   - Open the directory associated with "bookmark_name" using xdg-open
g                   - default alias for smgo (see Environment variables)

# Mac OS X Only
o <bookmark_name>   - Open the directory associated with "bookmark_name" in Finder
y <bookmark_name>   - Open the directory associated with "bookmark_name" in a new tab

Example

$ cd /var/www/
$ s webfolder
$ cd /usr/local/bin/
$ s localbin
$ lsm
webfolder	 /var/www/
localbin	 /usr/local/bin/
$ smgo web<tab>
$ smgo webfolder      # cd to /var/www/
$ o webfolder         # Open in file manager (Finder if on a mac)

bookmarks storage

Stored ~/.sdirs by default.

Set SDIRS to use custom location

Environment variables

Set SHELLMARKS_ITERM_SESSION to a session name to change the session that is launched when using y in iTerm2 on osx

If SHELLMARK_PWD is set, pwd is executed after smgo and pd

Set SHELLMARKS_ALIAS to use your own alias. Default is g
