About:
Goto is a lightweight Bash utility that allows users to create shortcuts for frequently used directories, enabling quick navigation via simple aliases. It includes robust auto-completion features for both Bash and Zsh, making it easy to recall and jump to saved paths. This tool significantly streamlines terminal workflows by reducing the need for typing long or complex directory paths.

Key Features:

Directory aliasing for quick navigation
Auto-completion support for Bash and Zsh
Simple management of aliases (add, list, delete)
Lightweight with no external dependencies

Use Cases:

Navigating deep project structures without typing long paths
Managing shortcuts for development environments or server configurations
Improving shell productivity for system administrators and developers

Alternatives:

zoxide – A smarter, faster alternative that tracks directory usage automatically, but requires a different command syntax.
bashmarks – A similar tool for directory bookmarking, though Goto offers more modern auto-completion features.
