This project is a small remake in C of a bash script that i very frequently use. I just wanted to make this a bit more stable and easier to install and thus converted it into a C program with makefile and an install script.

It is a very simple command to just save directory paths and quickly switch between them. I use this very often since i got bothered by constantly typing cd ../../../../folder and such. For example, you have the following folder structure:

~/Documents
│
├── work
│   │
│   ├── projectA
│   │   ├── src
│   │   └── docs
│   │
│   └── projectB
│       └── src
│
└── personal
    └── cool_project
        ├── src
        └── docs

in this situation if you want to navigate from ~/Documents/work/projectA/src to your personal project, you would either have to do cd ~/Documents/personal/cool_project or cd ../../../personal/cool_project what this tool allows is for you to be in ~/Documents/personal/cool_project and do cds cool_project and later once you want to navigate to it from anywhere, you can do cdl cool_project instead.

• gcc compiler

To start the installation script just run the following command as root (for bin access)

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meir/cdl/main/install.sh)

To uninstall you can use the same script and add uninstall after it.

A Nix Flake is provided that you can install, after it is installed you can add source $(which cdl-alias) in your bash/sh/zsh/fish profile to load in the cdl alias properly.

This project has a few commands, they're simple CRUD commands to change the cache file.
