workler shell-init

Print the wcd shell function for fast workspace switching.

workler shell-init

Behavior

Writes a POSIX shell function to stdout and does nothing else. Evaluate it to get wcd:

eval "$(workler shell-init)"

Put that line in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to have wcd in every shell.

What it prints

wcd() {
  if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "usage: wcd <workspace>" >&2
    return 2
  fi
  local dest
  dest="$(workler path "$1")" || return $?
  cd "$dest"
}

wcd <name> resolves the name with workler path and cds there; unknown names print the error and leave the shell where it is.

Examples

eval "$(workler shell-init)"
wcd feature-a
wcd main
