DirTagger

A gem saving some frequently-used paths and keeping them at hand, both in a very ease and comportable way. The concept is to give your directory a tag, and then store it in '~/.tag_dir_profile'. After that, you can retrieve the path to the directory by a shell command by passing the tag as parameter. https://github.com/bom-d-van/dir_tagger
