Here’s a simple way to use a persistent DIRSTACK in bash:

a script in your path called dhs saves your current DIRSTACK:

#!/bin/bash
dirs -l -p > /home/username/.drsk/pwdirs

And another one called dh to loads a dirstack from a file in ~/.drsk/, you may like to use different different dirstacks for separate projects:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `cat ~/.drsk/$1`;
do pushd $i > /dev/null 2>&1
done;
pushd +$( expr ${#DIRSTACK[@]} – 1 ) > /dev/null 2>&1
popd > /dev/null 2>&1
echo “DIRSTACK restored from ~/.drsk/$1″
dirs -v -l

and in your ~/.bashrc you can add:

source dh pwdirs

to load the default. When you adjust your working dirstack you can call `. dhs`to save it and each new terminal you open will use the same one.
