Jump

Powershell directory shortcuts.

Usage

This small module allows to manage a list of directory shortcuts. Invoking a shortcut changes the current location to the designated directory.
Shortcuts can also be listed or removed if they are no longer needed.

All Shortcuts are stored in a JSON file relatively to the Jump.psm1 in directory ‘Jumps/.json’. Invoking a jump always creates a new jump named ‘back’ pointing to the source of the jump. This makes it easy to switch between two directories quickly. The back-jump hasn’t to be called explicitely: just call ‘Invoke-Jump’ without jump name to move back.

Installation

The module is not (yet) available in the powershell gallery. Just clone the repository to a place in your module path and you should be ready to go.

I’m using it as a git submodule of in my profile repository which works quite well. For development I’m keeping another clone outside of my module path to make sure the Pester-Tests don’t mess up my list of Jumps.
