How I switch between projects

README.textile

Stick this in the bottom of ~/.profile & update PROJECT_BASE
Assuming you have a bunch of projects in PROJECT_BASE, you can do

bash> project my_project_name

You’ll now be in $PROJECT_BASE/my_project_name
Any new bash sessions you start will begin in that directory, which makes opening new tabs really convenient.
You can also just do

bash> project

to go to the most recently active project.

You can also do

bash> project list

to get a recency-ordered list of projects.

Enjoy!

project.sh

function project {
  PROJECT_BASE=~/code
  if [ "$1" ]; then
    PROJECT=$PROJECT_BASE/$1
    if [ -d $PROJECT ]; then
      touch $PROJECT_BASE/$1
    elif [ $1 = "list" ]; then
      echo
      echo "Projects"
      echo
      ls -t1 $PROJECT_BASE
      return 0
    else
      echo "No project $1"
      return -1
    fi
  fi
  cd $PROJECT_BASE/`ls -t1 $PROJECT_BASE|head -n1`
}
