title: How can I cd to an alias directory in the Mac OSX terminal
body: <p>Is there a way to get into an alias directory from shell with the command "cd" ? It always returns that "htdocs" isn't a directory.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I made the shortcut with the OS GUI -> rightclicked the htdocs directory and chose "Alias..." (i'm using a german OS if it's not alias maybe it's called shortcut in english?) then i moved it to my home directory (because my terminal starts from there when i open it).</p>
  
  <p>All i want is to open my terminal and type "cd htdocs" so that i can work from there.</p>
