    (Full disclosure This is zsh and I don't have a bash equivalent for that)

    Another thing I can't live without and some people hate is ls -la anytime I cd in to a directory. In a gui, I get that visual feedback immediately and it's usually the first thing I type when I land anyway so I just have a function for it https://github.com/gpspake/dotfiles/blob/master/zsh/gpspake/...

    Here's my answer to that, an 'nd' (newdir?) alias that calls this python script:

    https://github.com/danwills/shell-scripts/blob/bb989985d270c...

    This makes all directories with names provided by args, including spaces and multiple levels (slashes) at once. It then enters the resulting directory as well (when aliased including 'cd' as advised in the comment).
