You have personal projects, you have work projects. You have a lot of directories and you need to navigate to them quickly... BAM! and you're there. BAM! is a simple and speedy utility to quickly navigate to the root of project directories using a fuzzy prefix syntax.

1. Download a recent release of BAM! from the GitHub releases page.

2. Unpack it: tar -xvf <file>.tar.gz.

3. Move the bam binary to /usr/local/bin: mv bam /usr/local/bin/.

4. Configure an alias with your default configuration options:

    # .zshrc or .bashrc
    function bam() {
      local dest=$(/usr/local/bin/bam -root $HOME/Projects $1)
      cd $dest
    }
   

// Directories:

$HOME/Projects/science/physics/black-holes
$HOME/Projects/science/physics/nebulae
$HOME/Projects/ballet
$HOME/Projects/bingo

// Quickly navigate to the black-holes directory by indicating
// that you are searching for a directory whose name starts with
// "b" that is nested somewhere beneath a directory whose name
// starts with "s".
bam s/b

// Quickly navigate to the "ballet" directory because it is sorted
// before the "bingo" directory.
bam b

// Quickly navigate to the "bingo" directory.
bam bin

You name it, right now we're alpha but it works for me :)
