How to navigate directories faster with Bash (2015)

For me once I moved to zsh and added `oh my zsh` it really became so much easier.

I like the autocomplete, the fact that when cd-ing a known path you can just type the first leter of each directory with slashes, showing the git branch in working dir.

Its the little things.

'oh my zsh' is fun, but they really throw the kitchen sink in there. I had to get rid of it because terminal startup speed and doing anything in large folders was incredibly slow

If all the components of 'oh my zsh' were compiled into the shell and shared data structures, I bet it would be as fast as bash and only limited by IO

I believe that a lot the stuff you like from oh-my-zsh is in fish natively. You might check it out sometime.
