# sd

## What is `sd`?

`sd` could stand for 'swap directories' or 'sed on directories'. It's another command like `z`, `bd` and

other commands you run in your shell to change quickly a directory.

## Installation

    $ git clone https://github.com/TaurusOlson/sd ~/.sd

    $ source ~/.sd/sd

## Usage

Suppose you have this kind of tree:

    $ tree

    .

    ├── A

    │   ├── dataset1

    │   ├── dataset2

    │   └── dataset3

    └── B

        ├── dataset1

        ├── dataset2

        └── dataset3

    $ cd A/dataset1

`sd` allows you quickly jump from one source directory to a target directory by specifying their names.

Jump from `dataset1` to `dataset2`:

    $ sd dataset1 dataset2

Or simply:

    $ sd 1 2

    # you are now in path/to/A/dataset2

Jump from `A` to `B`:

    $ sd A B

    # you are now in path/to/B/dataset2

When only one argument is provided, `sd` assumes it is the source directory is

the current directory and the target directory is the first argument:

    $ sd dataset3

    # you are now in path/to/B/dataset3
