DCD ported to JavaScript, as a Node.JS console app. The original Free Pascal code can be found at https://github.com/deluan/dcd

This is my first Node (and JS) program, so any feedback is very welcome.

###Yet Another Fast Change Directory based on the honorable NCD

DCD was modeled after [Norton Change Directory (NCD)](http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/norton_change_directory_clones.shtml). NCD appeared first in The Norton Utilities, Release 4, for DOS in 1987, published by Peter Norton. NCD was written by Brad Kingsbury.

###Installation

* Install it using [NPM](http://nodejs.org/).

```

$ npm install -g dcd

```

* Open Terminal and run this one-liner:

```bash

echo 'DCD=`which dcd` && eval "`${DCD} --install-sh`"' >> ~/.bash_profile && . ~/.bash_profile

```

  or add this manually to your ~/.bash_profile: ```DCD=`which dcd` && eval "`${DCD} --install-sh`"```

###Usage

* Before using it, you need to scan your folder tree (the first time is very slow):

```bash

    $ dcd -r

```

* Using directories bread crumbs:

```bash

    To go to /usr/local/bin:

    $ dcd ulb

    To go to /bin:

    $ dcd b

    To go to ~/Development/project1:

    $ dcd ~Dp

```

* Using folder name match:

```bash

    To go to /Users/joe/Documents/Etc

    $ dcd Etc

    to go to ~/Development/project1/folder_with_long_name

    $ dcd folder_w

```

* If it's not what you want, repeat the command:

```bash

    To go to /usr/local/bin:

    $ dcd ulb

    /usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin

    $ dcd ulb

    /usr/local/bin

```

###Windows
