Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
- quickly jump to recent directory: https://github.com/rupa/z - however I find it kinda annoying it seems to forget/ignore(?) directories, anyone know of a better version of this?
- quickly opening my personal wiki: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...
- re-run a script when a file changes: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...
For `while-watchdo` you, you run it like `while-watchdo "echo hi"`, then in my editor, I have a custom shortcut that does `touch .watchfile` causing the command, in this case `echo hi` to run. I prefer this to tools that retrigger commands as soon as you save _any_ file. Also works in docker containers, edit a file on host, command runs in a container.

Use Linux they said
2) Well friend, this is where you can have the best of both of worlds. You can just open the file explorer via the CLI. Typically you'll have the xdg-open command that opens the directory in your default file browser. I have that aliased to xdgo. So you can navigate quickly to where you need to be, and then open it visually with xdgo . . There's also other really convenient navigation tools like z (https://github.com/rupa/z) that I can't imagine going without anymore.

Describe your Personal Development Environment
I would like to know how you use the terminal and nvim in your daily workflow. Here is mine: I have a shortcut (with raycast) to open alacritty full screen from anywhere. I open alacritty and start the tmux (create work and personal sessions). Then using z navigate to the desired project. Next, I have a bash script pde that opens nvim, and 2 terminal splits below. Nvim opens with alpha-nvim (startify theme). For file explorer I use lir.nvim. Fuzzy finding using fzf-lua. I have harpoon but don't use it very often, instead, I manage buffers with fzf-lua and vim-bbye. When working on multiple files I usually have 2-4 vsplits. I do git stuff mostly using vim-fugitive (gv.vim, resetting hunks with gitsigns.nvim), occasionally git commands from another tmux window. I use auto-save.nvim. My most used command is :F (lsp.bug.format). For movements I use Ctrl+D/U/O/I/, sometimes relative line jumping. Other often movements [q,]q (quickfix jumps), [d,]d (diagnostics jumps), [c,]c (Gitsigns hunks). Alacritty + Neovim view

My favorite bash shortcuts in 2023
For general filesystem navigation in my terminal, I'm using z command. But for finer control, I am using the following commands.

https://github.com/rupa/z is an awesome command to teleport to your most used directories. It's really handy to jump from a project to another.

FZF: make CTRL-T work with directories outside the current one
Again, not answering your question directly but you could consider using cdhist which allows FZF to search over all your previously visited directories.
-
Jmp: you'll never want to cd into a directory again
Another option is cdhist which can work with fzf to fuzzy search over your directory history, rather than immediate directory paths. That is more useful to me.

What is a program that you use that's uncommon but essential for you?
I use ranger frequently also, e.g. for navigating around an unfamiliar directory tree to see what dirs and files are there. But cdist automatically keeps track of all directories I cd to and allows me to quickly jump back to any of them. Generally I work in various projects/dirs etc, and then just cd -- to switch between them (or I sometimes use fzf nowadays which can fuzzy search that cdhist history).
