About:
cdargs is a directory bookmarking system that provides enhanced shell utilities for navigating the filesystem.

The tool integrates with bash, tcsh, and emacs to streamline command-line navigation and reduce typing.
Key Features:
  • Directory bookmarking for quick access
  • Shell integration for bash and tcsh
  • Emacs integration via elisp files
  • Shortcut commands for rapid navigation
Use Cases:
