Zconvey – regular-basis terminal current working directory project switching

Working on a project means having 3-5 terminals / shells changed-directory into that project.

Switching between projects thus means quite a mess in general.

But a Zsh-plugin Zconvey can clear and CD all, even busy Zshells thus preparing a fresh working environment for the new project :).
