zoxide Ajeet D'Souza

autojump cli fasd fzf jump rust z
Use this command to install zoxide:
winget install --id=ajeetdsouza.zoxide -e

zoxide is a smarter cd command, inspired by z and autojump. It remembers which directories you use most frequently, so you can "jump" to them in just a few keystrokes. zoxide works on all major shells.

zoxide is a smarter cd command designed to enhance directory navigation by remembering frequently accessed directories. It allows users to "jump" to these directories with minimal keystrokes, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Key Features:

  • Smart Directory Remembering: Tracks and prioritizes directories based on usage frequency.
  • Cross-Shell Compatibility: Works seamlessly across all major shells, including Bash, Fish, Zsh, PowerShell, and more.
  • Fuzzy Matching: Enables quick navigation to directories with partial matches or patterns.
  • Interactive Selection with fzf (Optional): Provides an interactive interface for selecting directories using the popular fuzzy finder tool.
  • Tab Completions: Supports intelligent tab completions for enhanced usability.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers, system administrators, and anyone working in terminal environments who need to navigate complex directory structures. By reducing the time spent on repetitive navigation tasks, zoxide enhances productivity and streamlines workflows.

zoxide can be installed via winget on Windows, making it accessible across multiple platforms.

Getting started

Tutorial

z foo              # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo
z foo bar          # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo and bar
z foo /            # cd into a subdirectory starting with foo

z ~/foo            # z also works like a regular cd command
z foo/             # cd into relative path
z ..               # cd one level up
z -                # cd into previous directory

zi foo             # cd with interactive selection (using fzf)

z foo  # show interactive completions (zoxide v0.8.0+, bash 4.4+/fish/zsh only)

    PowerShell

    > Add this to the end of your config file (find it by running > echo $profile in PowerShell): > > powershell > Invoke-Expression (& { (zoxide init powershell | Out-String) }) >

    Zsh

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually ~/.zshrc): > > sh > eval "$(zoxide init zsh)" > > > For completions to work, the above line must be added after compinit is > called. You may have to rebuild your completions cache by running > rm ~/.zcompdump*; compinit.

    Any POSIX shell

    > Add this to the end of your config file: > > sh > eval "$(zoxide init posix --hook prompt)" >

  • Install fzf (optional)

    fzf is a command-line fuzzy finder, used by zoxide for completions / interactive selection. It can be installed from here.

    > Note > The minimum supported fzf version is v0.51.0.

  • Import your data (optional)

    If you currently use any of these plugins, you may want to import your data into zoxide:

    • Configuration

    Flags

    When calling zoxide init, the following flags are available:

    • --cmd

      • Changes the prefix of the z and zi commands.
      • --cmd j would change the commands to (j, ji).
      • --cmd cd would replace the cd command.

    • --hook

      • Changes how often zoxide increments a directory's score:

        HookDescription
        noneNever
        promptAt every shell prompt
        pwd (default)Whenever the directory is changed

    • --no-cmd

      • Prevents zoxide from defining the z and zi commands.
      • These functions will still be available in your shell as __zoxide_z and __zoxide_zi, should you choose to redefine them.

    Environment variables

    Environment variables2 can be used for configuration. They must be set before zoxide init is called.

    • _ZO_DATA_DIR

      • Specifies the directory in which the database is stored.

      • The default value varies across OSes:

        OSPathExample
        Linux / BSD$XDG_DATA_HOME or $HOME/.local/share/home/alice/.local/share
        macOS$HOME/Library/Application Support/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support
        Windows%LOCALAPPDATA%C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local

    • _ZO_ECHO

      • When set to 1, z will print the matched directory before navigating to it.

    • _ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS

      • Excludes the specified directories from the database.

      • This is provided as a list of globs, separated by OS-specific characters:

        OSSeparatorExample
        Linux / macOS / BSD:$HOME:$HOME/private/*
        Windows;$HOME;$HOME/private/*

      • By default, this is set to "$HOME".

    • _ZO_FZF_OPTS

      • Custom options to pass to fzf during interactive selection. See man fzf for the list of options.

    • _ZO_MAXAGE

      • Configures the aging algorithm, which limits the maximum number of entries in the database.
      • By default, this is set to 10000.

    • _ZO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS

      • When set to 1, z will resolve symlinks before adding directories to the database.
