projde

projde is a command-line utility designed to help developers manage multiple project directories. It allows users to define shortcuts or aliases for their project locations, making it faster to navigate between different codebases. Instead of typing long, absolute paths, users can invoke a custom alias to instantly change their current directory to the desired project folder.

The tool typically works by maintaining a configuration file where users store their project aliases and their corresponding file system paths. When a user types a predefined alias, projde reads this configuration, resolves the associated path, and then executes a change directory command. This simplifies workflows for developers who frequently switch between various projects, such as those working on different client sites or multiple open-source contributions.

Installation and setup usually involve downloading the projde executable and configuring the alias file according to the tool's documentation. Many users integrate projde into their shell environment, often through their `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or equivalent configuration files, to ensure the aliases are always available. The primary benefit of projde lies in its ability to significantly reduce the time and effort spent on directory navigation, thereby increasing productivity for software developers.
