Command Line Bookmarks (bm)

What is Command Line Bookmarks (bm)?

Notice: new versions and documentation are hosted at bm's Google Code page.

The Why and The What

bm is a program that can make life at the terminal a little easier when you often deal with a couple of directories at the same time. It can be used to keep bookmarks of directories you often use, but are a drag to type and switch between.

Of course, there are the popd, pushd and dirs commands, but a stack is often not sufficient to work fast. That's why I wrote bm.

The How

bm is a tiny program written in C that reads from a simple, clear text bookmark textfile to generate an index. It's thus very low maintainence and should be easy to setup.
