Enter the directory through an alias in a Mac OS X terminal

Question

Is there any way to make this easy? I have a pretty deep directory in the file system and I get access to it a lot, so I made an alias in my home directory, but it will not let me paste it into it. What are the solutions? Thank!

Answer 1

you can make symbolic links to it, as in unix

eg.

ln -s ~/Library/Documentation . 

creates a symbolic link to the Documentation folder hidden in your ~ / Library folder.

Answer 2

try it

Create: ln -s [Directory] [alias name of the directory] // this is stored in the current directory;

Delete: unlink [alias name of this directory]
