    Look into zoxide.

    z direc

    Will take you to the most used directory starting with “direc” eg “/home/me/random/directory”

      I’ve tried things like that before but never got on with them. I found when I had many projects with similar directory structures it was easy to end up in the wrong place and took more thought to get to the right place than just cding

        The dir’s are the same names or similar? A few extra key strokes to get the fullname should be easier than cd’ing back and forth.

        There’s also z foo “space” “tab” as per docs to get interactive list for matches.

        But, just a suggestion!
