## What it is
Bashmarks is a small shell script that lets you save, jump to, list, and delete bookmarks for frequently used directories in Bash, with tab completion support. Bookmarks are stored in a .sdirs file in your home directory.

## Use cases
- save and jump to commonly used directories in the shell
- bookmark directories in bash
- quickly cd to frequently visited folders
- tab-complete directory bookmark names
- list and manage shell directory bookmarks

## When to choose
- you spend a lot of time cd-ing between the same directories in Bash
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free shell script for directory navigation
- you want tab completion for saved directory shortcuts

## When to avoid
- you use zsh or fish and prefer a native plugin for your shell
- you need fuzzy directory jumping like zoxide or autojump
- you need bookmarks shared across multiple shells or machines
