pages to the go-tool Google Code
project. See the Change

go is a small command for changing directories quickly.
Typically you have a set of directories that you work in. Typing out
the names of those dirs in full can be tedious. go allows you to
give a shortcut name for a directory, say ko for
D:\trentm\main\Apps\Komodo-devel, and do the following:
C:\> go ko
D:\trentm\main\Apps\Komodo-devel>and
C:\> go ko/test
D:\trentm\main\Apps\Komodo-devel\test>Think of it as a super cd.
go is free (MIT License). Please send any feedback to [Trent

Download the latest (1) go source package, (2) unzip it, (3) run
python setup.py install in the unzipped directory, and (4) run
python -m go to setup the shell driver:
unzip go-1.2.1.zip
cd go-1.2.1
python setup.py install
python -m go # to setup shell integrationThe most common things you'll do with go are adding new shortcuts:
[~/Library/Application Support/Komodo]$ go -a koappdatalisting the shortcuts you've created:
[~]$ go --list
Go Shortcuts
============
Default shortcuts:
. .
.. ..
... ../..
tmp /tmp
~ /Users/trentm
Custom shortcuts:
cgi-bin /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables
koappdata /Users/trentm/Library/Application Support/Komodo
pyinstall /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
staging /Users/trentm/Sites/staging
www /Users/trentm/Sitesand switching to directories using those shortcuts:
[~]$ go pyinstall
[/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6]$ go www
[~/Sites]$ Run go --help for full usage details or just take a look at the
go.py script:
$ go --help
Quick directory changing.
Usage:
go <shortcut>[/sub/dir/path] # change directories
# same as "go -c ..."
go -c|-o|-a|-d|-s ... # cd, open, add, delete, set
go --list [<pattern>] # list matching shortcuts
Options:
-h, --help print this help and exit
-V, --version print verion info and exit
-c, --cd <path> cd to shortcut path in shell
-s, --set <shortcut> <dir> set a shortcut to <dir>
-a, --add-current <shortcut> add shortcut to current directory
-d, --delete <shortcut> delete the named shortcut
-o, --open <path> open the given shortcut path in
explorer (Windows only)
-l, --list [<pattern>] list current shortcuts
Generally you have a set of directories that you commonly visit.
Typing these paths in full can be a pain. This script allows one to
define a set of directory shortcuts to be able to quickly change to
them. For example, I could define 'ko' to represent
"D:\trentm\main\Apps\Komodo-devel", then
C:\> go ko
D:\trentm\main\Apps\Komodo-devel>
and
C:\> go ko/test
D:\trentm\main\Apps\Komodo-devel\test>
As well, you can always use some standard shortcuts, such as '~'
(home) and '...' (up two dirs).
