Installing PathMarker

Manual Installation

• cd /usr/local/ # or wherever you install apps
• git clone https://github.com/zqb-all/PathMarker.git
• cd PathMarker/
• git submodule init
• git submodule update

Here we make a symbolic link from the bash script in the repo to /usr/local/bin/ which is assumed to be in the current $PATH

• ln -s "$(pwd)/PathMarker.py" /usr/local/bin/PathMarker.py now PathMarker.py should work
• git show | PathMarker.py set
• PathMarker.py get vim 1

For easily to use PathMarker.py with git/vim, try source PathMarker_help.sh in .bashrc

• echo "source $(pwd)/PathMarker_help.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
• source ~/.bashrc

Now you can use t as git, v as vim, fcd as cd, ffd as fd, ffind as find

• t show
• v 1
• ffd src
• ffind . -name src
• fcd 1

Note: If you don't have fd, ffd just same as ffind If you don't like these command, just modify PathMarker_help.sh
