fsfavor

fsfavor is a command-line utility designed to manage frequently accessed files and directories. It allows users to create, list, and retrieve their favorite items, streamlining navigation and access within a file system. The primary purpose of fsvavor is to reduce the time spent repeatedly navigating to commonly used locations.

Users can add files or directories to their favorites list using a specific command, often with an alias or name assigned to the item. This allows for easy recall later. The utility typically stores this list in a configuration file, making it persistent across different sessions. When a user wants to access a favorited item, they can invoke fsvavor with the assigned alias, and the utility will then provide the full path to that item, which can then be used by other commands or directly opened.

The benefits of using fsvavor include improved efficiency for users who frequently work with the same set of files or directories. It helps to avoid typos and complex path constructions, especially in large or deeply nested file systems. While specific features may vary slightly between different implementations of fsvavor, the core functionality revolves around simplifying access to user-defined shortcuts for file system locations.
