Installation

Installation: OSX

1. Get a binary file
2. Define a function

Get binary

brew tap wtetsu/sillycd
brew install sillycd

or download and add it to a PATH directory.

Define function

sillycd just writes a matched directory to stdout. If you use sillycd as alternative cd, you have to define a shell function.

# For bash:
function c() {
  d=`sillycd $1`
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo $d
    cd "$d"
  else
    echo "$1: No such file or directory" >&2
  fi
}

Give it a try!

$ c /u/l/b

Installation: Windows

Get files

Download it!

And add these files into a PATH directory.

• sillycd.exe
• c.bat

Give it a try!

c:\>c /pf

Rules

• You have to type the first character of each directory
• If multiple directories were matched, sillycd selects the most appropriate directory
