go2 - directory finder

## SYNOPSIS

**go2** \[-h\] \[--cd\] \[-i\] \[-r\] \[--setup\] \[--version\] \[pattern \[pattern ...\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **go2** command.

This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**go2** is a program that finds (and changes to) directories.

## IMPORTANT

**go2** requires be loaded from the shell. To do this include the next sentence in your $HOME/.bashrc file:

```
[ -e /usr/lib/go2/go2.sh ] && source /usr/lib/go2/go2.sh
```

If your wish improve directory caching, you may include also the next sentence:

```
alias cd='go2 --cd'
```

Both are made by the setup process the first time you invoke **go2**.
