Stop typing ../../.. endlessly. Use tab completion instead! Using up allows you to change your current directory to a parent of the current directory where the parent is specified by name or index.
Written in 100% shell script, up.sh registers the up function and some completion functions via your .bashrc or .zshrc file.
curl --create-dirs -o ~/.config/up/up.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shannonmoeller/up/master/up.sh
echo 'source ~/.config/up/up.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
curl --create-dirs -o ~/.config/up/up.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shannonmoeller/up/master/up.sh
echo 'source ~/.config/up/up.sh' >> ~/.zshrc
Written in 100% fish script, up.fish registers the up function and some completion functions via funcsave.
curl --create-dirs -o ~/.config/up/up.fish https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shannonmoeller/up/master/up.fish
source ~/.config/up/up.fish
