Opa!

That’s the way it is:

On your Mac in the user folder open the file .bash_profile. It can be in the program in which you program.

It is hidden. In case your Finder does not show the hidden files type the following command in the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true

After that open the file .bash_profile.

Now you create a function in the file:

goDevWeb(){
    cd xxx/yyyy/wwwww;
}

Then in the terminal in the folder usuario type so to compile the file:

source ~/.bash_profile.

Then take the test.
