In plain words

Goto is a shell command tool that lets users quickly navigate to frequently used directories by using custom aliases instead of typing full paths. Designed for command-line users who spend time in the terminal, it simplifies directory navigation by allowing them to jump to saved locations with short, memorable commands. The tool reduces typing and speeds up workflow for developers and system administrators who regularly work across multiple directories.
