How do i use $CDPATH in bash?
-
CDPATH is what PATH is for binaries, it is a search path for directories.
When it is not set$ cd doc bash: cd: doc: No such file or directory
When set. You can set it in your .bashrc.
$ CDPATH=/usr/local:/usr/share
Then change directory to some directory inside /usr/local for instance.
$ cd bin /usr/local/bin $ $ cd etc /usr/local/etc
Now you do not have to use full path names, for locations you use frequently.
