A gem saving some frequent used paths and keeping them at hand, both in a very ease and comportable way. The concept is to give your directory a tag, and then store it in '~/.tag_dir_profile'. After that, you can retrieve the path of the directory by a shell command with the tag as parameter.

# ~/path/to/home

# Nested Tagging
$ echo pwd
# ~/path/to/home/code
$ dir_tagger -a code -u home
# Add Success
$ dir_tagger ho co
# ~/path/to/home/code

# Display all the saved tags and directories

#       home    ~/path/to/home
#           home    ~/path/to/home/code

Using dir_tagger in shell

$ cd $(rcd home)

# some powerful shell snippets with dir_tagger
function xto {
    xto_path=$(dir_tagger $*)
    if [[ "$xto_path" != "" ]]; then
        cd "$xto_path"
    else
        echo -e '\033[31mPath Not Existed!\033[0m'
    fi
}

function xmate {
    proj=$(dir_tagger $1)
    proj_name=$(dir_tagger -k $1)
    tmproj=$proj/$proj_name.tmproj
    if [[ -f $tmproj ]]; then
        open "$tmproj"
    elif [[ "$proj" != "" ]]; then
        mate "$proj"
    else
        echo -e '\033[31mPath Not Existed!\033[0m'
    fi
}

function xproj {
    xmate $*
    xto $*
}

$ pwd
# somewhere/else
$ xto ho
# path/to/home

And that's all, hope you enjoy my first ruby gem. :-)
