Bookmark folders
Tired of navigating to folders via their meandering paths.....Start using aliases, but finding them hard to manage. Enter bookmark.
This is a very handy functionality that lets us bookmark folders, and easily navigate to them in the future, rather than manually creating aliases for navigating into each folder.
### Sample Use Case
cd /webapps/app1 bookmark firstapp
then next time you could directly do
go app1
rather than having to cd into the folder manually.
### List of Commands
Bookmark a folder. If no arguments are passed, it will create a bookmark with that current folder's name.
cd /webapps/app2 bookmark [name]
The file where bookmarks are saved (.bookmarks) will look like this /webapps/app1|firstapp /webapps/app2|app2 Unbookmark functionality has been added as well. Will unbookmark current folder if no name is specified.
unbookmark [name]
Error message on unbookmarking a folder that doesn't exist. If you were inside a specific folder which has been bookmarked, it would be removed from list of bookmarks. Show Bookmarks to see list of bookmarks
bookmarksshow
Go - Command to navigate to a folder. Supports completion as well.

P.S. - Been using this functionality for a long time, can't remember its original author. Code's been heavily modified with a lot of functionalities added by me now. Credit to him/her as well :-)
