# Setup:
#
# 	* Place this script in /usr/local/bin/
#
#	* Give execution permissions:
# 		
#		chmod + x /usr/local/bin/goto
#
#	* Edit the script. Add projects as variables. Example:
#		
#		awesome_project="/path/to/awesome/project"

# Usage:
#	
#		. goto <project_name>
# 		
#		Example:
#
#		. goto awesome_project
#
#

# Notes:
#
#	The "dot command" is used to run the script in your current 
#	process and not in a subshell where the directory change won't be reflected.
#	
#	To avoid using the "dot command" create an alias in your .bash_profile
#		
#		alias goto=". /usr/local/bin/goto"
#
#	Now you can use
#	 
# 	 	goto awesome
# 


# PROJECT NAMES
awesome_project="/path/to/awesome/project"
my_project="/path/to/my/project"
