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 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.

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 (bash 4.4+/fish/zsh only)

  2. Setup zoxide on your shell

    To start using zoxide, add it to your shell.

    Bash

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually ~/.bashrc): > > sh &gt; eval "$(zoxide init bash)" &gt;

    Elvish

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually ~/.elvish/rc.elv): > > sh &gt; eval (zoxide init elvish | slurp) &gt; > > Note: > zoxide only supports elvish v0.18.0 and above.

    Fish

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually > ~/.config/fish/config.fish): > > sh &gt; zoxide init fish | source &gt;

    Nushell

    > Add this to the end of your env file (find it by running $nu.env-path > in Nushell): > > sh &gt; zoxide init nushell | save -f ~/.zoxide.nu &gt; > > Now, add this to the end of your config file (find it by running > $nu.config-path in Nushell): > > sh &gt; source ~/.zoxide.nu &gt; > > Note: > zoxide only supports Nushell v0.89.0+.

    PowerShell

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

    Tcsh

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually ~/.tcshrc): > > sh &gt; zoxide init tcsh &gt; ~/.zoxide.tcsh &gt; source ~/.zoxide.tcsh &gt;

    Xonsh

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually ~/.xonshrc): > > python &gt; execx($(zoxide init xonsh), 'exec', __xonsh__.ctx, filename='zoxide') &gt;

    Zsh

    > Add this to the end of your config file (usually ~/.zshrc): > > sh &gt; eval "$(zoxide init zsh)" &gt; > > 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 &gt; eval "$(zoxide init posix --hook prompt)" &gt;

    > Note: > Warp provides its own completions, so completions are not > supported there.

  3. 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.

  4. Import your data (optional)

    If you currently use any of these plugins, you may want to import your data into zoxide. The data file is auto-detected using each plugin's standard conventions.

    zoxide import
    PluginCommand
    atuinzoxide import atuin
    autojumpzoxide import autojump
    fasdzoxide import fasd
    zzoxide import z
    z.luazoxide import z.lua
    zsh-zzoxide import zsh-z

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.
