Creating a symbolic link to other paths from the Babun home directory
I just installed babun on my Windows 7.
babun ~/home/xxx
is located in C:\Users\Admin\.babun\cygwin\home\xxx
the Windows file system.
xxx is my username on windows
Let's say my processed files are stored in D:\work
how can I create a symbolic link to link to D:\work
? So I can easily use cd mysymlink
to change the working directory from babun's home directory.
Please, help. Thank.

Try to create a link /
like this:
ln -s /cygdrive/d/work /myworkdir
Then you should be able cd /myworkdir
to go to your disabled directory.
Another option is to create an alias in your .bashrc:
echo "alias gtw=\"cd /cygdrive/d/work\"" >> ~/.bashrc
After that, you can just write gtw
.
Note: gtw means g o t o w ork :), but you can choose whatever you like ...
Edit: Oh sorry you added the zsh tag, I haven't seen, then the second option should be like this:
echo "alias gtw=\"cd /cygdrive/d/work\"" >> ~/.zshrc
