[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/deluan/dcd.js.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/deluan/dcd.js)
[![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/dcd.png)](http://badge.fury.io/js/dcd)

DCD ported to JavaScript, as a Node.JS console app. The original Free Pascal code can be found at https://github.com/deluan/dcd

This is my first Node (and JS) program, so any feedback is very welcome.

###Yet Another Fast Change Directory based on the honorable NCD

DCD was modeled after [Norton Change Directory (NCD)](http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/norton_change_directory_clones.shtml). NCD appeared first in The Norton Utilities, Release 4, for DOS in 1987, published by Peter Norton. NCD was written by Brad Kingsbury.

###Installation

* Install it using [NPM](http://nodejs.org/).
```
$ npm install -g dcd
```

* Open Terminal and run this one-liner:
```bash
echo 'DCD=`which dcd` && eval "`${DCD} --install-sh`"' >> ~/.bash_profile && . ~/.bash_profile
```
  or add this manually to your ~/.bash_profile: ```DCD=`which dcd` && eval "`${DCD} --install-sh`"```

###Usage

* Before using it, you need to scan your folder tree (the first time is very slow):
```bash
    $ dcd -r
```

* Using directories bread crumbs:
```bash
    To go to /usr/local/bin:
    $ dcd ulb

    To go to /bin:
    $ dcd b

    To go to ~/Development/project1:
    $ dcd ~Dp
```

* Using folder name match:
```bash
    To go to /Users/joe/Documents/Etc
    $ dcd Etc

    to go to ~/Development/project1/folder_with_long_name
    $ dcd folder_w
```

* If it's not what you want, repeat the command:
```bash
    To go to /usr/local/bin:
    $ dcd ulb
    /usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin
    $ dcd ulb
    /usr/local/bin
```
