# `zoxide`
> A smarter cd command for your terminal
[![crates.io][crates.io-badge]][crates.io]
[![Downloads][downloads-badge]][releases]
[![Built with Nix][builtwithnix-badge]][builtwithnix]
`zoxide` is a blazing fast replacement for your `cd` command, inspired by
`z` and `autojump`. It keeps track of the directories you use most
frequently, and uses a ranking algorithm to navigate to the best match.
![Tutorial][tutorial]
## Examples
```sh
z foo # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo
z foo bar # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo and bar
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)
```
Read more about the matching algorithm [here][algorithm-matching].

### *Step 2: Add `zoxide` to your shell*
To start using `zoxide`, add it to your shell.
<details>
<summary><code>bash</code></summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.bashrc`):
```sh
eval "$(zoxide init bash)"
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>elvish</code></summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.elvish/rc.elv`):
```sh
eval (zoxide init elvish | slurp)
```
Note: zoxide only supports elvish v0.16.0 and above.
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>fish</code></summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.config/fish/config.fish`):
```fish
zoxide init fish | source
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>nushell</code></summary>
Add this to your configuration (find it by running `config path` in Nushell):
```toml
startup = ["zoxide init nushell --hook prompt | save ~/.zoxide.nu", "source ~/.zoxide.nu"]
```
Note: zoxide only supports Nushell v0.36.0 and above.
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>powershell</code></summary>
Add this to your configuration (find it by running `echo $profile` in
PowerShell):
```powershell
Invoke-Expression (& {
$hook = if ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -lt 6) { 'prompt' } else { 'pwd' }
(zoxide init --hook $hook powershell) -join "`n"
})
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>xonsh</code></summary>

### *Step 3: Install `fzf` (optional)*

selection. It can be installed from [here][fzf-installation].
### *Step 4: Import your data (optional)*
If you currently use any of the following utilities, you may want to import
your data into `zoxide`:
<details>
<summary><code>autojump</code></summary>
```sh
zoxide import --from autojump path/to/db
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><code>z</code>, <code>z.lua</code>, or <code>zsh-z</code></summary>
```sh
zoxide import --from z path/to/db
```
</details>
## Configuration
### Flags
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>`
- 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 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.
- The default value varies across OSes:
| OS | Path | Example |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Linux / BSD | `$XDG_DATA_HOME` or `$HOME/.local/share` | `/home/alice/.local/share` |
| macOS | `$HOME/Library/Application Support` | `/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support` |
| Windows | `{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}` | `C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming` |
- `_ZO_ECHO`
- When set to `1`, `z` will print the matched directory before navigating to
it.
- `_ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS`
- Excludes the specified directories from the database.
- This is provided as a list of [globs][glob], separated by OS-specific
characters:
| OS | Separator | Example |
| ------------------- | --------- | ----------------------- |
| Linux / macOS / BSD | `:` | `$HOME:$HOME/private/*` |
| Windows | `;` | `$HOME;$HOME/private/*` |
- By default, this is set to `"$HOME"`.
- `_ZO_FZF_OPTS`
- Custom options to pass to [`fzf`][fzf]. See `man fzf` for the list of
options.
- `_ZO_MAXAGE`
- Configures the [aging algorithm][algorithm-aging], 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.
## Third-party integrations
- [`emacs`][emacs]. You can use `zoxide` for navigation with the
[`zoxide.el`][zoxide-el] plugin.
- [`nnn`][nnn] is a terminal file manager. You can use `zoxide` for navigation
