# Bashmarks plugin
The Bashmarks plugin allows you to create and use bookmarks for directories on
your filesystems. This plugin is derived from the project
https://github.com/huing/bashmarks but contains improvements. This plugin is
licensed under the 3-Clause BSD license.
## Quickstart
Create a new bookmark using the *bm -a* command:
```bash
$ bm -a mydir
```
The command above creates a bookmark for the current directory with the name
*mydir*.
You can navigate to the location of a bookmark using the *bm -g* command:
```bash
$ bm -g mydir
```
You can also supply just any bookmark name and the *-g* option will be assumed:
```bash
$ bm mydir
```
Tab completion is available when you need to enter a bookmark name in a
command, such as when using *bm -g*
Easily list all bookmarks you have set up using the *bm -l* command:
```bash
$ bm -l
```
## Configuration
- **`BASHMARKS_SDIR`**: This variable contains the path to the file that stores
the information of bookmarks of directory names. The default path is
`~/.sdirs`. The old interface `SDIRS` is now deprecated.
