wd

Build Status

wd (warp directory) lets you jump to custom directories in zsh, without using cd. Why? Because cd seems ineffecient when the folder is frequently visited or has a long path.

NOTE: If you are not using zsh, check out the ruby branch which has wd implemented as a gem.

Setup

oh-my-zsh

wd comes bundles with oh-my-zshell!

Just add the plugin in your ~/.zshrc file:

plugins=(... wd)

Automatic

Run either in terminal:

  • curl -L https://github.com/mfaerevaag/wd/raw/master/install.sh | sh

  • wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/mfaerevaag/wd/raw/master/install.sh -O - | sh

Manual

  • Clone this repo to your liking

  • Add wd function to .zshrc (or .profile etc.):

    wd() {
        . ~/path/to/cloned/repo/wd/wd.sh
    }
    
  • Install manpage. From wd's base directory (requires root permissions):

    # cp wd.1 /usr/share/man/man1/wd.1
    # chmod 644 /usr/share/man/man1/wd.1
    

    Note, when pulling and updating wd, you'll need to do this again in case of changes to the manpage.

Completion

If you're NOT using oh-my-zsh and you want to utelize the zsh-completion feature, you will also need to add the path to your wd installation (~/bin/wd if you used the automatic installer) to your fpath. E.g. in your ~/.zshrc:

fpath=(~/path/to/wd $fpath)

Also, you may have to force a rebuild of zcompdump by running:

$ rm -f ~/.zcompdump; compinit

Usage

  • Add warp point to current working directory:

    $ wd add foo
    

    If a warp point with the same name exists, use add! to overwrite it.

    Note, a warp point cannot contain colons, or only consist of only spaces and dots. The first will conflict in how wd stores the warp points, and the second will conflict other features, as below.

  • From an other directory (not necessarily), warp to foo with:

    $ wd foo
    
  • You can warp back to previous directory, and so on, with this dot syntax:

    $ wd ..
    $ wd ...
    

    This is a wrapper for the zsh dirs function. (You might need setopt AUTO_PUSHD in your .zshrc if you hare not using oh-my-zshell).

  • Remove warp point test point:

    $ wd rm foo
    
  • List all warp points (stored in ~/.warprc):

    $ wd list
    
  • List files in given warp point:

    $ wd ls foo
    
  • Show path of given warp point:

    $ wd path foo
    
  • List warp points to current directory, or optionally, path to given warp point:

    $ wd show
    
  • Remove warp points to non-existent directories.

    $ wd clean
    

    Use clean! to not be prompted with confirmation (force).

  • Print usage with no opts or the help argument:

    $ wd help
    
  • Print the running version of wd:

    $ wd --version
    
  • Specifically set the config file (default ~/.warprc), which is useful when testing:

    $ wd --config ./file <action>
    
  • Force exit with return code after running. This is not default, as it will exit your terminal, though required when testing/debugging.

    $ wd --debug <action>
    
  • Silence all output:

    $ wd --quiet <action>
    

Testing

wd comes with a small test suite, run with shunit2. This can be used to confirm that things are working as it should on your setup, or to demonstrate an issue.

To run, simply cd into the test directory and run the tests.sh.

$ ./tests.sh

Finally

If you have issues, feedback or improvements, don't hesitate to report it or submit a pull-request. In the case of an issue, we would much appreciate if you would include a failing test in test/tests.sh. Explanation on how to run the tests, read the section "Testing" in this README.
