Opening an erlang shell from bash

Hello is there any way to open an erlang shell from bash ? I do not want everytime to insert manually the path of the files(s) that i am compiling.Can't i just open a shell in my target folder and open erlang which would take it as current dir ?

Every time i want to load a module i have to do it manually: c([path to module]) -> change the backslashes

P.S : I am using vscode and it would be really helpful to have the code visible while i open the integrated terminal and load the modules.

You can use rebar3 - https://www.rebar3.org/, or Erlang.mk - https://erlang.mk/, or you can create your own Makefile for compile your modules, moved to some folders and run shell from folders where you have *.beam files after compile. For example, do compile from src folder to eg. _build folder and run

$ mkdir -p _build && erlc -o _build/ src/*.erl
$ cd _build && erl
