A shortcut for bash using tt
I heavily use the ~/tmp
directory of my computer and have the habit of moving to it, creating a new temporary directory, moving into that, and creating a short-lived project. Finally I automated that and have been actually using the automation:
I wrote this tiny zsh function called tt
that creates a new directory in ~/tmp/
and cd’s to it:
tt() {
RANDOM_DIR=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)-$RANDOM
mkdir -p ~/tmp/"$RANDOM_DIR"
cd ~/tmp/"$RANDOM_DIR" || return
}
This goes in my .zshrc
.
