Autoleap - automatically leap into any previously visited directory

Lawrence Lagerlof - Jan 17 '23 - - Dev Community

This script adds an amazing feature to the cd command. It records (locally) the path of all directories you visit using cd. When you want to access a previously visited directory, you just need to run cd part_of_directory_name

The script is very lightweight and fast. The image below shows how simple it is to use:

You can leap into any directory that exists in the history file, from anywhere.
