# menucd

Directory browser and changer for the command line

## Requirements

* [dialog](https://invisible-island.net/dialog/dialog.html)

Linux, unix, BSD, MacOS

This script probably won't work from the Windows command line unless you're

using WSL or some other modified command line environment.

## Usage

Add this function to your environment by editing your ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc,

~/.zshrc, etc (change the path in the code below to match the path to where

the `menucd.sh` script is located):

```sh

function menucd () {

  $HOME/scripts/menucd.sh $@

  ret=$?

  if [ -r /tmp/menucd.cd.exit ]; then

          cd "`cat /tmp/menucd.cd.exit`"

          rm /tmp/menucd.cd.exit

  elif [ $ret != 0 ]; then

          echo Fail

  fi

}

```

Reload `~/.profile` (or whichever rc file you edited):

    source ~/.profile

Then run `menucd`. If you run the script (`menucd.sh`) by itself, it won't work.
