Bookmarks for PowerShell

I work in the terminal quite a bit, and needed a quick way to change directories between projects. I started this based off a similar project in bash called lazy-cd. This works similarly as it stores the bookmarks you add to a file, and if the bookmark is found, the terminal location will be set accordingly.

Functions

  • Check-Bookmark - Initializing function to create bookmark file if needed
  • View-Bookmark - List all the bookmarks that have been added to the library
  • Add-Bookmark <name> - Adds the bookmark using the <name> and the current location you are in
  • Delete-Bookmark <name> - Remove the specified bookmark line based on the <name>
  • Goto-Bookmark <name> - If the bookmark <name> exists in the bookmark file, the terminal will Set-Location to the path defined.

Aliases

Alias Function
bm Goto-Bookmark
bma Add-Bookmark
bmd Delete-Bookmark

Usage
