% Hacky way of making projects in MATLAB
%
% One hassle of MATLAB is that moving from one project to another is a hassle.
% With this script you only have to type:
%
%   open_project 'my project'
%
% to move from the current directory to the specified directory. Projects are
% simply folders in the one of the 'project_folders'.
%
% To list all the currently detected projects use:
%
%   open_project --list
%
% To move to your MATLAB user directory (~/Documents/MATLAB on linux) use:
%
%   one_project mlhome
%
