Move efficiently between directories.
.
This command adds a couple of extra features to cd, without affecting normal use.
CDPATH use is also unaffected. It introduces and environment variable CDDIR which is used as an alternate home directory.
.
Note: I don't want to alter $HOME because then all my dot files will move.
.
Examples:
.
cd dir
Change directory to "dir" (using CDPATH if necessary)
.
cd dir/file.txt
Change directory to "dir" (containing folder of "file.txt")
This allows you to cut'n'paste, or use
.
CDDIR is unset
cd
Change directory to $HOME
.
CDDIR=/home/flatcap/work
cd
Change directory to /home/flatcap/work
.
For convenience, put the command, and the following, in your .bashrc or .bash_profile
export CDDIR="/home/flatcap/work"
alias cdd="CDDIR=$(pwd)"

Cleaner than the top alternative Show Sample Output
Using a GUI file managers you can merge directories (cut and paste). This command roughly does the same (it doesn't ask for confirmation (no problem for me) and it doesn't clean up the empty SRC directories (no problem, trivial).
probably does the same:
cp -l SRC TARGET; rm -rf SRC
