A faster way to navigate your filesystem
> A faster way to navigate your filesystem
## Introduction
`zoxide` is a blazing fast replacement for your `cd` command, inspired by
[`z`][z] and [`z.lua`][z.lua]. It keeps track of the directories you use most
frequently, and uses a ranking algorithm to navigate to the best match.
`zoxide` is a blazing fast alternative to `cd`, inspired by
[`z`](https://github.com/rupa/z) and [`z.lua`](https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua).
It keeps track of the directories you use most frequently, and uses a ranking algorithm
to navigate to the best match.

## Examples
```sh
z foo # cd to highest ranked directory matching foo
z foo bar # cd to highest ranked directory matching foo and bar
z foo # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo
z foo bar # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo and bar
z foo/ # can also cd into actual directories
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
zi foo # cd with interactive selection (using fzf)
```
