“setgo” is a UNIX/Linux command-line utility to quickly change the current directory using a short easy-to-remember name.
UNIX and Linux computers have a large number of sometimes deeply nested directories. However most users and administrators usually go to just a few directories on a regular basis. The setgo utility makes navigating directories at the command-line far easier and faster. And setgo is especially useful for remembering rarely-used directory locations by associating them with a shorter name.
For example:
setgo work
would set the ‘go’ command named ‘-work’ to the current directory, and
-work
would change the current directory to the location defined for the -work ‘go’ command.
