I made my own with search and autocomplete, it works for me and I have it on GitHub, but it's pretty specific to my workflow and there are so many different options in this thread (a lot of which are probably better). I also liked the idea here to prefix all your scripts https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31846902 and would personally recommend using fish or zsh with the improvements from ohmyzsh for autocomplete and hints. |

In a situation like this, when I have control over /etc/passwd and can create accounts as I please, then I might have a single account, let's say /home/amturing, then (as a subdirectory) another account /home/amturing/amtgo.
Unruly apps that benefit from UID/GID regimentation can be constrained in this way. The whole app assuming ~amtgo is also helpful.
EDIT: I also remembered this useful advice on prefixing private shell scripts in your path with a comma:
