There are a lot of different options to choose from to help out with these issues:
Use aliases
- Both for commonly used directories, e.g.
alias q='/home/durrantm/Dropbox/95_2014/work/code/ruby__rails/ruby/ruby_quiz'and also for common commands. Evenalias p=pwdmakes life easier when you typepwda hundred times a day. You'll notice that one letter aliases are a favorite trick of mine.
- Both for commonly used directories, e.g.
Use ctrl-p within vim (if you use vim) as indicated and shown by muru
Install and use autojump (https://github.com/wting/autojump) to remember your visited command line directories. This may be perfect for you.
