xontrib-up 1.0.1

Go up any number of directories.

UP! - the fast way to go up directories in xonsh

Tired of attaching "balloons" to your cd command to go up directories?

cd .., cd ../.., cd ../../.., cd ../../../.., cd ../../../../../../../../../../../../../..?

Tired of creating weird aliases like cd..4, cd..12, ... cd..100 to navigate up directories?

Now you can use up!

Type up to go up one directory. Type up 2 to go up two directories. Type up 42 to go up forty-two directories. It's that easy.

No more defining an alias for cd ../../../../../../... Just type up 7.

$ # cd ../../..
$ up 3

You can also get the path that up will produce by using upp (up path). This lets you see what directory up will produce.

$ # pushd -q .; cd ../../../..; echo $PWD; popd -q
$ upp 4

Listing ancestor directories with ls requires balloons, but not anymore. A simple way to list ancestor dirs is with lsup, which forwards on any options to ls.

$ # long list everything 3 dirs up (ie: `ls -opts ../../..`)
$ lsup -laFGh 3
