Found this note about Auto-alias Your Repos, while this is very fast but I've another handy code to do the same. Check it out.

All my projects is under dev directory in the $HOME path, I've this code in my ~/.bash_profile:

#~/.bash_profile

goto() {
   cd "$HOME/dev/$1" 
}
_goto() {
  COMPREPLY=()
  local word="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
  local comps=$(dir $HOME/dev)
  COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${comps}" -- ${word}) )
}
complete -f -F _goto goto

Now I can jump in any project folder under the dev with autocomple:

~ >  goto b<TAB>
bench_redis_fdb  bigboy           botmaster
bfm              bitpayer

Use it!
