goto – a cd replacement tool for Linux

Last Updated on July 11, 2021

goto is designed to be a complete replacement for cd, i.e. the change directory tool in Linux.

It allows saving of directories as shortcuts/bookmarks which makes it easier to jump to the required destination. It also features a fuzzy-finder, which is able to match files in the working directory by REGEX matching. It makes traversing between directories very easy.

goto is released under an open source license.

Features include:

• Fuzzy file finder – it creates the REGEX searchable string, and then recursively checks the file names of all files/folders present in the current working directory and feeds the value to the ‘grep’ tool which matches the name with the REGEX pattern and prints all the files
  found.
• Directory bookmark saving.
• List all the bookmarks.
