contxt

cont(e)xt

contxt manage paths in workspaces while working on a shell.

example session switch to workspace and change paths by shortcuts.

shortcut is in this example a function in ~/.bashrc function cn() { cd $(contxt dir -i "$@"); }

user@showcase:~$ contxt projectX
current workspace is now:projectX
user@showcase:~$ context dir --paths
paths stored in projectX
	 0 	/home/user/devsource/project_x
	 1 	/home/user/devsource/project_x/server
	 2 	/home/user/devsource/project_x/client

	to change directory depending stored path you can write cd $(contxt -i 2) in bash
	this will be the same as cd /home/user/devsource/project_x/client
user@showcase:~$ cn 1
user@showcase:~/devsource/project_x/server$ pwd
/home/user/devsource/project_x/server
user@showcase:~/devsource/project_x/server$ cn 2
user@showcase:~/devsource/project_x/client$ pwd
/home/user/devsource/project_x/client
