I'm preparing headers for a C++ project and I decided to use find to get include option to other header files. To list the right path, I need to use
with it, like: cd 'PATH/TO/HEADER/FILE' find ../../../ And only this way I can get the list of header directory to copy-paste to the header file. After that, I had to: cd 'PATH/TO/MY/PROJECT' To switch back to project path. It's inconvenient to use
often, so, can I tell find command to automatically 'jump' to the directory and search? I read through the man page and can't figure it out. find PATH/TO/HEADER/FILE is not a solution because I deliberately want pathnames to start with ../../../.
