Aliasify

Isn't it annoying when you have to spell out the full path to projects that you often work on? I like setting up aliases to project directories. It's kinda annoying though to run pwd and then redirecting that to .bash_aliases or whatever and then manually adding an alias. So I wrote aliasify.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'aliasify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install aliasify

Usage

Once the gem is installed (and you've run rbenv rehash...), go to your oft-used project directory. Now, run 

$ aliasify <insert-alias-name-you'd-like-here>

For example, I used to work on PrettyPrintGmail a lot at one point. So I would set up something like: aliasify pp. Then on start-up I could type in pp and be taken directly to the directory.
