To add a shortcut to your macOS Terminal, the only thing we need to do is to EXPORT
that path in your bash profile. So go ahead and open the ~/.bash_profile
file with a text editor, and add the following to the bottom of this file.
export MYFOLDER="/Users/username/Dropbox/folder"
This will add an environment variable $MYFOLDER
to every new bash Terminal window you create. So you can navigate (or use the variable of this path) to this folder with:
cd $MYFOLDER
You can also type $MYFOLDER/other-folder
—then press the TAB
key— to expand the path shortcut to:
/Users/username/Dropbox/folder/other-folder
