Please note that LinuxExchange will be shutting down on December 31st, 2016. Visit this thread for additional information and to provide feedback.

We have so many useful folders, which are in different path, for our working in Linux.

For example :

  1. $cd ~/Documents/Courses/EDX/physics2013/
  2. $cd ~/Documents/Courses/Company/OpenGL/Proj/...
  3. $cd ~/Documents/Courses/Freelance/Android/Proj/... ....

How to create some short paths which can be used like

  1. $cd edxPhy2013
  2. $cd cglProj-v-2.13
  3. $cd flAndrProj-v-1.1

I can"t find my answer, done a few moments ago, but a Bookmark folder in your Browser would work easily, with some time for the conf.

You can create an alias for the short path.

Ex.

alias edxPhy2013='cd ~/Documents/Courses/EDX/physics2013/' alias cglProj='cd ~/Documents/Courses/Company/OpenGL/Proj/' alias flAndrProj='cd ~/Documents/Courses/Freelance/Android/Proj/'

this will create a short path to switch your directory.
