What am I looking at
It's a CLI tool that I made for finding the absolute path for a subdirectory from a certain path so that I can CD to it easily. If you have golang installed, you can build the directory then place its path into your bash/zsh/etc. profile under the path directory so you can call it everywhere.
How to use this
Just call it on a folder name. There are three possible flags:
- -l - int; limit how many results are retrieved. Default: -1 (infinite)
- -w - string; set the base directory. Default: current working directory
- -r - bool; retrieve relative paths instead of absolute paths. Default: false
NOTE: If any flags are set, the target folder name come after all flags
Examples of usage
way build
way -r -l 5 -w /User/me node_modules
How do I compile this
- Install the Golang runtime (https://go.dev)
- Navigate to the folder with the project in it
- Run: go build way.go
How do I add this to my path variables?
- Open your terminal profile file (mine is .zshrc)
- Add the path variable on a blank line, like:
export PATH="$PATH/route/to/compiled/binary"
- OR you can just add it to your usr/bin folder if you're on mac/unix and don't already have a way binary (and you like to live dangerously)
Planned Updates
- At some point I may add my own logic for accessing subdirectories using coroutines instead of the built-in fs.WalkDir
