cdgit: cd relative to git workdir root

[Vincent Demeester]

Hi,

I have the same need, and thanks for the aliases, now I can do it :).

I'm no zsh expert but a potential solution on zsh could be the use of
*hashes*. An hash is a shortcut in zsh. For example, having the following :

hash -d github=$HOME/src/github

You can use do things like :

cd ~github/vdemeester

And zsh completion work as usual.

Having a code in zshrc that update the hash for the current git root
directory (or clean it if not in a git working directory) would do the
trick.

But it's zsh-only and I'm not sure if it would be better or worst in
term of performance
