A cd command that learns your habits

Table of contents

Introduction

zoxide is a blazing fast alternative to cd, inspired by z and z.lua. It keeps track of the directories you use most frequently, and uses a ranking algorithm to navigate to the best match.

Examples

z foo       # cd to highest ranked directory matching foo
z foo bar   # cd to highest ranked directory matching foo and bar

z foo/      # can also cd into actual directories

zi foo      # cd with interactive selection using fzf

zq foo      # echo the best match, don't cd

za /foo     # add /foo to the database
zr /foo     # remove /foo from the database

Getting started

Step 1: Installing zoxide

If you have Rust, this should be as simple as:

cargo install zoxide -f

Otherwise, try the install script:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/master/install.sh | sh

If you want the interactive fuzzy selection feature, you will also need to install fzf.

Step 2: Adding zoxide to your shell

If you currently use z, z.lua, or zsh-z, you may want to first migrate your existing database to zoxide:

zoxide migrate /path/to/db

zsh

Add the following line to your ~/.zshrc:

eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"

bash

Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:

eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

fish

Add the following line to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

zoxide init fish | source

Configuration

init flags

  • --no-define-aliases: don't define extra aliases like zi, zq, za, and zr
  • --hook <HOOK>: change the event that adds a new entry to the database (default: prompt)
    • none: never add entries - this will make zoxide useless unless you manually configure a hook
    • prompt: add an entry at every prompt
    • pwd: add an entry whenever you change directories

Environment variables

  • $_ZO_ECHO: z will print the matched directory before navigating to it
  • $_ZO_DATA: sets the location of the database (default: ~/.zo)
  • $_ZO_MAXAGE: sets the maximum total rank after which entries start getting deleted
