Jump for Windows
Easily jump around the file system by manually adding marks.
It's like the Oh My Zsh jump plugin, but for Windows.
Installation
Download Jump and extract it to a directory listed in your %PATH%.
Alternatively, you can integrate it with your Cmder installation.
Usage
Mark the current path for recurrent use
mark foo
Example :
C:\Program Files>mark prog
C:\Program Files>_
Jump to a marked path
jump foo
Example :
C:\Program Files>cd ..
C:\>jump prog
C:\Program Files>_
List all created marks
marks
Example :
C:\Program Files>marks
prog -> C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files>_
Remove a mark
unmark foo
Example :
C:\Program Files>unmark prog
C:\Program Files>_
Keep a path for later user
keep
Example :
C:\Users\Username>keep
Jump back to the keeped path
back
Example :
C:\Users\Username>cd \
C:\>back
C:\Users\Username>_
Notes
If you mark a path without giving a name, the mark name will be the folder name :
C:\bar>mark
C:\bar>cd ..
C:\>jump bar
C:\bar>_
When a path is no more available, marks will tell you :
C:\bar>mark foo
C:\bar>cd ..
C:\>rmdir C:\bar
C:\>marks
bar -> ?
C:\>_
mark will ask for a confirmation if you're trying to override any existing mark name :
C:\>marks
home -> C:\Users\Username
C:\>mark home
Mark C:\ as home? (y/n) _
Marks are stored in the directory %MARKPATH%, which defaults to %HOME%\.marks. If %HOME% is not set, it defaults to %USERPROFILE%\.marks.
Cmder Integration
Download Jump, extract all the .bat files to your Cmder\bin directory, and (optionally) add some useful Cmder aliases :
alias j=jump $*alias m=mark $*alias k=keepalias b=back
And if you prefer the word "tag" instead of "mark" :
alias tag=mark $*alias tags=marksalias untag=unmark $*
