## Change directory, quickly

Are you tired of changing directories in a big files trees? If so, **cdq** comes with a rescue.

Let's say you have a following structure 

```bash

➜  foo tree

.

└── foo

    └── bar

        └── foobar

            └── edit_me.xyz

```

If you want to quickly go to foobar directory to edit something there, you do not need to type the entire path with 

`cd foo/bar/foobar`. With **cdq** you simply can run `cdq foobar`!

> Note: It is an incredibly basic MVP - writing this README took me more time than to write the current code -, but I plan to make it better every time I have some time to spare.

### Installation

As of now it is not integrated with shell too well, so the process is unfortunately a bit cumbersome.

- Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/wzslr321/cdq`

- `cd cdq && cargo build -r`

- Add cdq function to your shell config file, to execute the program and interpret its output

Example for `.zshrc`

```sh

cdq() {

    local output=$(~/Remi/rust/cdq/target/release/cdq $1)

    echo $output

    local dir=$(echo $output | awk -F'Path=' '{print $2}')

    if [ -d "$dir" ]; then

        echo "Proceeding to the $dir"

        cd "$dir"

    fi

}

```

- Refresh shell - `exec zsh`

- Run `cdq --version` to make sure it works!
