# cd to the root of git repo
alias cdr="cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"

# use fzf to quickly cd into subdirectories
function c() {
  local selected_directory
  selected_directory=$(fd -t d | fzf --height=6 --layout=reverse)

  if [ -n "$selected_directory" ]; then
    cd $selected_directory

Ignore directories with tree

tree -I '__pycache__|node_modules|test_*'
