🔖 dtags

directory tagging and navigation utility.

Dtags makes tagging, and change directories fast and easy. Add arbitrary tags to any directory, making it easy to jump back to those directories easy.

Installation

Installation consists of 3 parts.

1. an alias in your bashrc/zshrc.
2. bash helper script that is used to launch commands and cd to tagged directories.
3. the guts, a go utility that does all the heavy lifting.

sudo curl -L https://github.com/tylerfowle/dtags/releases/download/v0.1.1/dtags -o /usr/local/bin/dtags
