bd not changing directorys as expected on ubuntu 19.04

[rs-development]

bd folder name does only echo the target directory but does not actually switch to it.

I am using ubuntu 19.10 and fish 3.0.2, the same problem does exist in bash. Is there something to make it change the directory instead of just printing the target directory?

You have to do the following steps documented in the README:

echo 'alias bd=". bd -si"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

It's not clear that these commands need to be run for ubuntu as well, since they're under 'Other OS' in the README. Would be cool if this step is stated more clearly.

Yep, those instructions're unclear: I just went and got the DEB off Launchpad and it indeed has literally no scripts in it besides the program itself.

@rs-development it is because you need to source it to make executed in the current shell. otherwise, it changes the directory still but in the subshell.
