CDPATH - cd to your project directory from anywhere
I cross posted this tip to my own site: http://pempek.net/articles/2014/01/01/cdpath-cd-from-anywhere/
My projects are organized the following way:
~
├── ...
├── Projects
│ ├── Project1
│ ├── Project2
│ └── Project3
└── ...In your ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc just add:
CDPATH=.:~/ProjectsNow enjoy being able to cd Project1, cd Project2 or cd Project3 from anywhere:
$ cd /
$ cd Project1
$ pwd
/home/gregory/Projects/Project1Written by Gregory Pakosz

Does this have any negative side effects such as when names collide with files in your current directory?
