Working at the command line

The terminal loves structure

The structure of the Johnny.Decimal numbering scheme lets you move to any folder with the minimum number of keystrokes using tab completion.

At each level, you know that there will be no conflicting items.

Script your way around

Easier still, use a simple bash script to change to any directory immediately. Put the script below in your .zshrc or equivalent. Then switch to any directory with cdj 11.11.

                                             
                                             
    cdj() {                                      
      # Update with your document root folder    
      pushd ~/Documents/*/*/1*                
    }                                            
                                             
    export cdj
