goto

Command line tool to jump to a project in your workspace using its initials.

goto vsnb
~/code/vivo-stream-notification-bridge $

Install

Clone this repo, then add your configuration and an alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc.

export GOTO_WORKSPACE="$HOME/code"
export GOTO_IGNORE='professor-cam training'
alias goto="source $HOME/scripts/goto/goto.sh"
alias gocode="$HOME/scripts/goto/goto.sh -c"

Use

goto can be used to jump to a project in your workspace by its initials (where the folder name is hyphenated). For example, goto igm is equivalent to cd $GOTO_WORKSPACE/int-gel-matter.

Providing the full name of a project also works, for example goto int-gel-matter.

Using goto with no arguments will take you to the root of your workspace.

Use the -c flag to launch the project in VS Code, e.g. goto -c igm.

Configure

goto uses a couple of environment variables to find your project folders.

GOTO_WORKSPACE should be the folder containing your projects. If not specified, this defaults to your home directory.

GOTO_IGNORE should be a space-separated list of folder in your workspace to ignore, in case of clashes. For example, I'm using 'professor-cam training' so that goto pc will match the passport-control project instead of professor-cam. Note that you can still use the full name to bypass ignored projects, e.g. goto professor-cam.

Extend

If you want to include folders not in the root of your workspace you can add these to the case statement in the second half of the script. I've got one set up already to jump to the passport-control-activity package within passport-control.
