Is there a way I can set up some shortcuts to my most used directories?
I mean "cd trunk" would always get me to my trunk location (e:\projects\work.....) from any place ?
I believe you are not looking for a "shortcut" but a command alias.
This post on The UNIX and Linux Forums explains how to use doskey if you have the appropriate version of Windows (which I assume you're using based on the path specified.
In Linux you can use the command alias
to create e.g. cdt
to expand to cd ~/projects/trunk
.
Cygwin and similar environments on Windows can do the same.
tip: for future posts please specify the OS you're on and if relevant the shell used. Are you using plain DOS, cygwin, etc.?
The details on your environment are very sparse, but if you use Bash or equivalent (e.g. through Cygwin), you can set CDPATH
for this functionality.
Demonstrated:
~$ cd trunk
bash: cd: trunk: No such file or directory
~$ CDPATH="/projects/work"
~$ cd trunk
/projects/work/trunk
/projects/work/trunk$
