I have separate directories for uni courses, which are grouped in semester directory. I also TA some classes, which is stored in separate folder named 'TA'. That is, it is grouped like this:
University
| - ...
| - 2024.2
| | - Lie algebra
| | - Operator algebra
| - 2025.1
| | - Mathematical Algorithms
| | - Diophantine equations
| - TA
| | - ...
| | - 2024.2
| | - 2025.1
Oftentimes, I focus on the current semester, so I want to view courses on a same semester grouped together.
On other times, I want to group TA activities across semesters together to .
I may also do the same with grouping similar subjects.
Basically, I want to view directories with different grouping for each use case, as in the title. I hope this makes sense..
Is there any kind of directory structure or application-based solutions for this cases?
EDIT: I want both GUI and TUI solution for browsing files like this, it's great if linux filesystem supports this natively but fine if it doesn't.
Database with redirection capability would be even better.
Thanks in advance!
Really need more clarification. Are you saying you want your
lsto show things differently based on the current directory?ZSH+oh-my-zsh or similar to take pwd into account and switch profiles will do this. It's not going to be fast, but it will do what you want.
