;;; Commentary:

;; Package for quickly navigating to a specific parent directory in
;; eshell without having to repeatedly typing 'cd ..'.  This is
;; achieved using the 'eshell-up' function, which can be bound to an
;; eshell alias such as 'up'.  As an example, assume that the current
;; working directory is:
;;
;; /home/user/first/second/third/fourth/fifth $
;;
;; Now, in order to quickly go to (say) the directory named 'first' one
;; simply executes:
;;
;; /home/user/first/second/third/fourth/fifth $ up fi
;; /home/user/first $
;;
;; This command searches the current working directory from right to
;; left (while skipping the current directory, 'fifth') for a
;; directory that matches the user's input ('fi' in this case).  If a
;; match is found then eshell changes to that directory, otherwise it
;; does nothing.
;;
;; It is recommended to invoke 'eshell-up' using an alias as done in
;; the example above.  To do that, add the following to your
;; .eshell.aliases file:
;;
;; alias up eshell-up $1
;;
;; The complete description of eshell-up, including other features, is
;; available at: https://github.com/peterwvj/eshell-up
;;
;; This package is inspired by 'bd', which uses bash to implement
;; similar functionality.
;;
;; See: https://github.com/vigneshwaranr/bd
