Why stop with writing notes and forget?

A better way is to combine your notes tool with Readwise. If you use Notion, then save the page link under a custom book titled Notes.

You’ll get reminded once in a while. Just click the link, review the notes like flash card.

Or just use the static reminder feature in notion if you want more control over your reminders.

Yes. The async/await in JS is totally different from Await in plain Scala (without any frameworks)

Thank you for your comment. Yes I felt that the problems could be present in other languages as well but I don't know any other.

Somebody commented that there is a nice tool called 'jump' for bookmarking directories. https://github.com/flavio/jump

You can use both 'jump' to jump between bookmarked directories and 'bd' to quickly go to a parent directory in the same shell.

That's a good one!

Didn't know about the function approach.

Removed the 'export'. I wrote out of habit. Thanks a lot for pointing that out.

Thanks. z is great! If only I had found this before. I actually googled a lot before writing this (last year April) but couldn't find something like z.

Anyways z always changes directory. Using bd within backticks will just print the path without changing the directory. We can use that with other commands like ls, zip etc. Example: "ls `bd <starting letters>`" would only print the contents without changing the directory.

Hi, 'jump' is a great bookmarking system for the bash shell. But you'd only want to bookmark some most used directories.

I made 'bd' out of frustration to use 'cd ../..' all the time from "any" random directory. I can't bookmark all possible places. They are like slightly different tools.

I think it'll be awesome to use both jump and bd in the same system!

Please give 'bd' a try. Once you get used to 'bd', you'll use it frequently without thinking. :)

Quickly go back to a directory instead of typing cd ../../..

https://github.com/vigneshwaranr/bd

Description: Quickly go back to a specific parent directory in bash instead of typing "cd ../../.." redundantly.How to use:If you are in this path /home/user/project/src/org/main/site/utils/file/reader/whatever and you want to go to site directory quickly, then just type: 'bd site'In fact, You can simply type 'bd &lt;starting few letters&gt;' like 'bd s' or 'bd si'If there are more than one...
