 ## 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
