Alias directories for faster access. There are more general solutions for this, but this is mine (mainly for learning C).

fj

Description

fj is a command-line tool that allows you to quickly navigate to frequently used directories using aliases.

Usage

To use fj, simply type fj <ALIAS> in your terminal to navigate to the directory associated with the specified alias.

Options

• -c, --complete: Displays a list of available completions for the provided alias, allowing you to choose from them interactively (requires gum but you could just replace it in the fj shell function).

Example: fj projects -c
