# WarpDrive - Warp across directories



[![All Contributors](https://img.shields.io/badge/all_contributors-2-orange.svg?style=flat-square)](#contributors-)



WarpDrive is a replacement for `cd` (However it does use `cd` to work). It tracks your visited directories and uses a "frecency" algorithm (combining frequency and recency) to determine which directory to warp to.



![Example Usage](example.png)



## Usage



You can use WarpDrive like this:

```sh

wd someDir

```

If you had visited `someDir` before (and thus `someDir` is in the datafile), it'll take you there. Otherwise, it'll just pass on the aguments to `cd` (which means that both relative and absolute paths work).



You could also do the same thing with just parts of the full path:

 ```sh

 wd s

 ```

 or 

 ```sh

 wd Dir

 ```

 ### Options 

 Currently, WarpDrive has eight options:

 

 **Option --ls or -s**

 

 Runs `ls` after warping to a directory.

 ```sh

  wd --help

 ```

 

 **Option --help or -h**



Prints a small help message:



```sh

 wd --help

```

Output:

```

WarpDrive - Warp across directories

Usage: wd [] [ ...]

Options:

   --ls, -s                   Run ls after warping to a directory

   --add, -a  ...       Add paths to be tracked. Paths are automatically added when visited

   --remove, -r  ...    Remove paths so they are no longer tracked

   --list, -l                 List tracked paths and their points, sorted by most

   --update                   Update WarpDrive to the latest commit

   --help, -h                 Print this help message

   --version, -v              Print the version of WarpDrive you have   --check, -c                Checks if a newer version is available

Examples:

   wd

   wd dir-in-pwd

   wd dir-that-was-visited-before

   wd grand-parent-dir parent-dir child-dir

   wd parent-dir grand-parent-dir child-dir

   wd a-part-of-the-name-of-some-dir

   wd /absolute/path/to/somewhere

   wd -s run-ls-after-warping

   wd --add dir-to-add

   wd --remove dir-to-remove

Note:

   To go to the home directory don't specify any arguments, i.e. use just `wd` (like cd)

   When specifying multiple patterns, order doesn't matter except for the last pattern given

      i.e. WarpDrive will always take you to a directory whose name matches the last pattern

   If  is specified after an option,  will be ignored unless the option is -s

   No options can be combined (you can't use any two options at the same time)

   Any output seen is on stderr



Refer to https://github.com/quackduck/WarpDrive for more information

```

 

 **Option --update**

 

Updates WarpDrive to the latest commit. It is recommended to update with `wd --update` to ensure you have the latest WarpDrive.



```sh

wd --update

```

 

 **Option -a or --add**



Adds paths. Paths are automatically added when you visit them.



```sh

wd --add /Users /usr/local/bin

```



 **Option -r or --remove**



Removes paths. This does not "decrement" frequency. It completely deletes a path, so it is no longer tracked (Unless, of course, you visit it again).



```sh

wd --remove /Users /usr/local/bin

```

**Option -l or --list**



Shows tracked directories and their points, sorted by most.

```sh

wd --list

```

Sample output:

```

Points   Directory

150.0    /Users/ishan/Desktop/GitHub/WarpDrive

36.0     /Users/ishan/Desktop/tests/foo

6.0      /Users/ishan/.config/fish

5.0      /Users/ishan/.config

3.0      /Users/ishan/.config/fish/functions

1.0      /usr/libexec

1.0      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-14.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home

1.0      /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-14.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin

1.0      /

1.0      /Users/ishan/Downloads

1.0      /Users/ishan

1.0      /Users/ishan/.config/fish/conf.d

0.5      /Users/ishan/Desktop

0.5      /Users/ishan/Desktop/tests

```

 **Option -c or --check**

 Checks for newer WarpDrive versions

```sh

wd --check

```

Example output:

```

Newer version: WarpDrive 1.0.1 is available

You currently have: WarpDrive 1.0.0

Run `wd --update` to update to the latest version

```

 

 **Option -v or --version**

Prints the version of WarpDrive you have

```sh

wd --version

```



Example output:

```

WarpDrive 1.0.0

```

 _Even though most of these "options" would be better implemented as standalone actions, they are implemented as regular options because they have the advantage of not being like filenames_

 

 ### Different Arguments

 

 WarpDrive recognizes seperate arguments as matching different directories in a path. They do not need to be in order.

 

 Both

 ```sh

 wd grandParentDir parentDir childDir

 ```

 or 

 ```sh

 wd parent grand child

 ```

 will have the same result. 

 

 **Note! WarpDrive will *always* take you to a directory matching the last pattern. For more info on what this means, check the second Caveat.**

 

 ## Installing or Uninstalling

 

 `fish` is currently supported.

 

 You need to have `java` installed for WarpDrive to work. Use `brew cask install java` if you have Homebrew installed

 

 ### Fish Install or Uninstall

 

WarpDrive can be installed by running this command:



```fish

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quackduck/WarpDrive/master/fish/install.fish | fish

```



and uninstalled by running this command:



```fish

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quackduck/WarpDrive/master/fish/uninstall.fish | fish

```



## Compatibility



The datafile format is the same as rupa/z, jethrokuan/z, zsh-z and z.lua



## Known Issues



WarpDrive is a bit slow, compared to native shell scripts, taking ~150ms on average (tested using [Hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine)) for most commands (This could be different for you. Do inform me about WarpDrive's performance or leave a review at )

This is because the JVM takes a lot of time to start up. The application itself takes 30ms.

 

 ## Caveats

 

  _WarpDrive stores data at_ `~/.WarpDrive/WarpDriveData.txt`.

 

 _WarpDrive will always take you to a directory that matches the last pattern given._ In other words, if the datafile contains two directories: `/foo/bar` and `/bar/foo` and you use the command `wd f` it will take you to `/bar/foo`.

 

 _WarpDrive is not case sensitive. `wd Bar` is the same as `wd bar`._



_Just `wd` takes you to the home directory._



_No options except `-s` can be grouped together. `wd -hl --add /` won't work but `wd -s /` will_



_If any options except -s are specified, you stay in the same directory even if you specified a directory. `wd -l someDir` won't work_
