## Configuration
### `init` flags
### Flags
- `--cmd`: changes the prefix of predefined aliases (`z`, `zi`).
When calling `zoxide init`, the following flags are available:
- `--cmd`
- Changes the prefix of predefined aliases (`z`, `zi`).
- e.g. `--cmd j` would change the aliases to `j` and `ji` respectively.
- `--hook <HOOK>`: change how often zoxide increments a directory's score:
- `none`: never automatically add directories to zoxide.
- `prompt`: add the current directory to zoxide at every shell prompt.
- `pwd`: whenever the user changes directories, add the new directory to
zoxide.
- `--no-aliases`: don't define extra aliases (`z`, `zi`).
- `--hook <HOOK>`
- Changes how often `zoxide` increments a directory's score:
| Hook | Description |
| -------- | --------------------------------- |
| `none` | Never |
| `prompt` | At every shell prompt |
| `pwd` | Whenever the directory is changed |
- `--no-aliases`
- Don't define extra aliases (`z`, `zi`).
- These functions will still be available in your shell as `__zoxide_z` and
`__zoxide_zi`, should you choose to use them elsewhere.
`__zoxide_zi`, should you choose to redefine them.
### Environment variables
Be sure to set these before calling `zoxide init`.
- `_ZO_DATA_DIR`
- Specifies the directory in which zoxide should store its database.
- Specifies the directory in which `zoxide` should store its database.
