This is a part of my .bashrc.
It's a series of commands that allows you to save a folder location and cd into it, for example when invoking a new terminal and you want to jump to the place where you were quickly.
It also allows you to output a file content into a file and output the saved content. I use it for example to copy a file's content so that I can pass it to another command like "pfile | tail -c 5" to get the last five characters of a file, without the need to write the full path to the files.
cpath = copy path
ppath = paste path (aka cd into saved path)
cfile = copy file content
pfile = paste file content
