Hey All, I developed a new builtin and I was wondering what is the process for getting it added to the official release (e.g. reviews, votes, etc). *Pull Request:* https://github.com/jstein916/bash/pull/1 *What the command dh does:* it adds a new command called "dh" which stands for directory history. The new command is similar to history but deals exclusively with the directories that have been cd to. It creates a .bash_dirhistory file similar to history. *Help from bash:* dh: dh [-ciw] [-m N] [N|partial_name] Directory history navigation. Display the directories that have been visited using the cd command, ordered by frequency of access. Directories are numbered with the most frequently accessed directory having index 1 (displayed last in the list). Options: -c clear the directory history -i show visit counts in parentheses -m N limit display to N most recent directories -w write directory history to file Usage: dh display directory list dh -i display directory list with visit counts dh -m 10 display only the 10 most recent directories dh -w save directory history to file dh N change to directory number N from the list dh N-M change to directory number N, then go up M levels dh partial_name change to directory matching partial_name, or show matches Examples: dh 5 change to the 5th directory in history dh 5-2 change to the 5th directory, then go up 2 parent directories dh -m 5 -i show only 5 most recent directories with visit counts dh proj change to directory containing 'proj' in its basename dh bash change to directory containing 'bash', or show all matches Exit Status: Returns success unless an invalid option is given. *Examples:* Jason@PC MSYS /c/Projects/bash $ cd /tmp/test1 Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test1 $ cd /tmp/test2/ Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test2 $ cd /tmp/test3 Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test3 $ dh 3 /tmp/test3 2 /tmp/test2 1 /tmp/test1 Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test3 $ dh 31 bash: dh: directory number 31 out of range (1-3) Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test3 $ dh 1 /tmp/test1 Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test1 $ dh test3 /tmp/test3 Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test3 $ dh 3 /tmp/test3 2 /tmp/test2 1 /tmp/test1 Jason@PC MSYS /tmp/test3 $ dh 2-1 /tmp Jason@PC MSYS /tmp $ dh tmp Multiple matches found: 1 /tmp/test3 3 /tmp/test2 2 /tmp/test1 Thanks Jason
