Awesome bash function for switching to a project

_get_project_names(){
  local cur prev base
  COMPREPLY=()
  cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
  prev="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}"
  local names=$(for x in `ls -d1 /Users/$USER/Projects/*`; do echo ${x/\/Users\/$USER\/Projects\//} ; done)
  COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${names}" -- ${cur}) )
}

p(){ cd /Users/$USER/Projects/$1/; }

complete -F _get_project_names p

Just type p followed by the first (few) letter(s) of your projects name, hit ->| (tab) to auto complete, hit return to go to ~/Projects/<project_name>
