goto – enhanced ‘cd’ command replacement tool with fuzzy file finder and a directory bookmark saver, similar to autojump.

The usage is simple and effective:

goto -h, -help, h, help  # Prints the Usage

goto "location address"  # Takes you to the "location address"

goto s, -s "shortcut"  # Saves the Current Directory location as "shortcut"

goto l, -l  # Lists all the Bookmarks saved

Link: How to speed up directory navigation in a Linux terminal

As useful as navigating through directories from the command line is, rarely anything has become as frustrating as repeating over and over “cd ls cd ls cd ls …” If you are not a hundred percent sure of the name of the directory you want to go to next, you have to use ls. Then use cd to go where you want to. Hopefully, a lot of terminals and shell languages now propose a powerful auto-completion…

Autojump - The Fastest Way to navigate around in the Terminal

Autojump is by far the coolest terminal utility i have come across . This is fuzzy searching meets the cd command  From the developer himself i quote - 

"autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line. Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped to."

Installing in the popular distros in not an issue as all repositories now house the said utility or otherwise the github repo is always there. 

This Utility changes the way how you use cd in your terminals , imagine traversing from a directory like /docs/ebooks/programming/python/ to another directory like /editing/new/html/intern

This would essentially require you to perform "cd .. " quite a few times and then a few more cd commands , instead autojump lets you do a simple j intern (provided you have once gone to this directory manually in the tiresome manner).

Fuzzy searching for the keywords instead of remembering the entire path is so much cooler and efficient. 

A Note to Ubuntu users : (command j not found issue Ubuntu 13.04/12.10/12.04)

After Installing autojump(sudo apt-get install autojump ) there is a small step you need take before you can use this program 

open up the bashrc file in your text editor of choice - (vim ~/.bashrc) and add this line to rc file : source /usr/share/autojump/autojump.bash

 As a measure i did file a bug for the same , you can check it out here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autojump/+bug/1200849
