One of my favourite snippets of bashrc code for navigating directories below. Whether it beats navigating with a file explorer is up to you but I drastically prefer it.

<code>

export MARKPATH=$HOME/.marks

function jump {

  cd -P "$MARKPATH/$1" 2>/dev/null || echo "No such mark: 

$1"

}

function mark {

mkdir -p "$MARKPATH"; ln -s "$(pwd)" "$MARKPATH/$1"

}

function unmark {

rm -i "$MARKPATH/$1"

}

function marks {

ls -l "$MARKPATH" | sed 's/ / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- | sed 's/ -/\t-/g' && echo }

</code>

To bookmark a directory:

$/home/user/Documents> mark

To jump to it

$/tmp> jump Documents

I can't find the orginal HN discussion on this but it has shown up a few times with incremental improvements like tab completions added.
