NAME

cdtarget-backend - Change directory to symlink target's directory

VERSION

This document describes version 0.007 of cdtarget-backend (from Perl distribution App-CdUtils), released on 2023-11-24.

SYNOPSIS

To use in shell:

% cdtarget() { cd `cdtarget-backend "$1"`; }

% pwd
/tmp

% file p1todo p2
p1todo: symbolic link to /home/u1/Documents/project1/todo.txt
p2: symbolic link to /home/u1/Documents/project2

% cdtarget p1todo

% pwd
/home/u1/Documents/project1

% cdtarget p2

% pwd
/home/u1/Documents/project2

DESCRIPTION

cdtarget is a command to change directory to a symlink target's directory. If the target is already a directory then it will be used directly, otherwise it's the target's directory that is used.

If symlink is not specified as argument, and there is a single symlink in the current directory and nothing else, that symlink will be used.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
