in bash can I force a `cd src` everytime I cd into a go directory?

Question

I never use my bin or pkg golang dirs. So when I do this:

cd go i'd rather BASH assume I mean cd go/src

how can I tell bash do this everytime?

Answer 1

Put

function cd()
{
    test $# -eq 0 && return 0
    if [ `basename $1` == "go" ]; then
        builtin cd "$1/src"
    else
        builtin cd "$@"
    fi
}

in your ~/.bashrc.

Note that you won't be able to use command-line options when cd-ing into your Go directory because ideally we'd process only the last argument passed to cd but you can't easily do this in a POSIX shell (and bash).
