Invoke the script and pass the name of the project as its only non-flag argument:
```bash
proj learncpp
```
If the project exists in your project directory, it will spawn a subshell in that directory. Advanced usage and hooks are detailed below, but you can use it as a glorified `cd` if that's all you need.
When invoked as specified in usage (with any number of valid flags plus exactly one non-flag argument referred to here as `$arg1`), `proj` will do the following:
*`cd` to `project_dir` (normally `~/Projects`)
* Check for the existence of `$arg1`
* If `$arg1` is a directory or symbolic link, proceed
* If `$arg1` is any other type of file, panic
* If `$arg1` does not exist, then:
* Execute the pre-create hook if configured to do so
* Create `$arg1` as a directory
* Initialize an empty git repository if configured to do so
