User-Friendly Versions of Bash Commands Built in Ruby

gdr (go to directory): enables interactive browsing and changing of directories starting from the current path

It is a versatile, efficient, and user-friendly replacement of using cd & ls when changing directories.

• Bash shell
• Ruby (Vanilla or RVM)

sudo gem install ruby-bash
ruby-bash-setup
source ~/.ruby_bash_source

The gem can be installed unto any Ruby/Gemset in RVM and it will be used from there everywhere.

Since it is independent of any particular Ruby project, it is recommended you install unto the default gemset.

Afterwards, run the ruby-bash-setup command from the same RVM Ruby/Gemset you installed the gem at to setup the ruby-bash functions in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc (whichever is available)

These are the commands you need to run:

rvm use @default
gem install ruby-bash
ruby-bash-setup
source ~/.ruby_bash_source

Simply run this command from anywhere:

gdr

You should see a diretory listing as follows:

== gdr (go to directory) - ruby-bash - version 0.0.1 ==
Choose a directory:  
Current: /Users/User/code/ruby-bash (Type to filter / ENTER to navigate / ESC to go back / CTRL+X to go to directory / CTRL+C to abort back to original path)

  drwxr-xr-x  4 User  staff   128 Jul 21 01:46 spec

1. Type any characters to filter the list (e.g. typing 's' filters by spec directory)
2. Hit ENTER to navigate to directory
3. Hit ESC to go back where you were before
4. Hit CTRL+X once ready to go to directory (exit)
5. Hit CTRL+C if you want to abort and go back to original path

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
• Fork the project.
• Start a feature/bugfix branch.
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
