Two-hour project: Quick directory switching with statistics and fuzzy matching.

QuickCD

Collects statistics of which directories you use and introduces a command (e.g. qcd) that fuzzy-matches in the history for quick change of directories.

Demo

Installation

1. make
2. sudo -H python3 -m pip install prompt_toolkit
3. Run the collection script before every prompt; in bash:

   quickcdStore() {
       /path/to/quickcd-store ~/.quickcd.sqlite3 $PWD
   }
   export PROMPT_COMMAND=quickcdStore
   

4. Create an alias for switching directories; in bash:

   alias qcd='cd "$(python3 /path/to/quickcd-get.py ~/.quickcd.sqlite3)"'
