Interactive CD Bash History

This is a fork of djoot/all-bash-history. It uses only the acd_func.sh file, tweaked to become interactive. djoot's solution is simply printing the output, so you had to issue the command again with the correct number.

Make it work

I've placed the file to my ~ foler, and appended the block bellow to my ~/.bashrc (rename the file to your convenience)

if [ -f ~/acd_func.sh]; then
    . ~/acd_func.sh
fi

Then, simply use you cd command like before (don't forget to source ~/.bashrc to apply your changes!):

• cd - to go back to the previous directory;
• cd -- to issue the interactive prompt, and then input the desired number
• cd -n to go back to the nth directory, if you know what number it has. e.g.: go back to where you were 3 directory before: cd -3.

Examples

Interactive history:

antonin:~$ cd --
0  ~
1  ~/Downloads/test
2  ~/Downloads
Chose your path index: _

Direct manipulation:

antonin:~$ cd -2
antonin:~/Downloads$ _
