zsh-bd
Quickly go back to a specific parent directory instead of typing cd ../../.. redundantly.
Update August 2017: While there have not been commits lately, it's still fully functional.
This is a reimplementation of vigneshwaranr/bd that utilizes the power of the zsh shell.
Install
All you need to do is to source bd.zsh. Here's the manual installation
mkdir -p $HOME/.zsh/plugins/bd
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tarrasch/zsh-bd/master/bd.zsh > $HOME/.zsh/plugins/bd/bd.zsh
print -- "\n# zsh-bd\n. \$HOME/.zsh/plugins/bd/bd.zsh" >> $HOME/.zshrc
Restart your shell (or run zsh)
Antigen
If you prefer antigen over manual installation
antigen-bundle Tarrasch/zsh-bd
Usage
$ mkdir -p a/b/c/d
$ cd a/b/c/d
$ bd b
$ ls
c
$ cd c/d
$ bd 2
$ ls
c
Here's an animation also showing the completion functionality
Thanks
