Hi
I have found many a time that in my huge home directory tree, I forget what
directory contains exactly what. e.g., in ~/Projects/ml/py I might keep the
solutions to my machine learning course I wrote in Python, but sometimes,
we all can be bit shaky with naming directories and later have to hunt for
something when we need it.
What if a directory could optionally contain a special file, say,
".__about__ ", which contains a brief summary of what this directory
contains. Then, the flow could be
- Create a directory optionally with a message
$ mkdir -p foo/bar --about "Example directory".
- The cd builtin, depending upon an environment variable or an option,
also cats the .__about__ file after performing the chdir.
$ cd --about foo/bar
foo/bar: Example directory
