Assuming CODEDIR to be the top-level source directory, first update your ~/.bashrc like so: alias mktags='cd $CODEDIR && etags `find $CODEDIR -name "*.[h|c]"` && cd -' Then run: source ~/.bashrc mktags but when i try that on MacOS, I get this error: $ mktags -bash: /usr/bin/etags: Argument list too long Can you please tell me how to get it to work?
