Saltar al directorio del proyecto usando una simple función bash

Normally you cd into your html or code directory and then cd into your project's directory. In this article I'll explain how a simple bash function can save up your precious time for cd-ing into directories over and over again.

Let's straight dive in and open up our bash file. In my case, it's bash_profile

Open up your terminal & follow along.

$ subl ~/.bash_profile

The function

function cdhtdocs {
 cd "C:/xampp/htdocs/$1"
 }

Add into the context

$ source ~/.bash_profile

The use-case

Now lets assume you want to switch to your project's directory that's located in "C:/xampp/htdocs/foobar".

You'll have to simply type:

$ cdhtdocs foobar

Easy? Isn't it?

Final Words

Bash functions are always helpful if you know the right use-case. If you're a terminal rookie, then this little trick might come in handy.
