TermBuddy

🚧 TermBuddy is experimental software. Bugs are expected. Send logs.

Whenever you your current directory in Terminal.app contains a *.termbuddy file, you’ll see a bookmarks bar below your terminal window.

Start with an empty file with touch .local.termbuddy to show the shortcuts bar. Then press to add and edit bookmarks.
