## Introduction
|
|
|
|
`zoxide` is a new `cd` alternative 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.
|
|
|
|
On my system, compiled with the `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` target, `hyperfine` reports that `zoxide` runs 10-20x faster than `z.lua`, which, in turn, runs 3x faster than `z`. This is pretty significant, since this command runs once at every shell prompt, and any slowdown there will result in an increased loading time for every prompt.
|
|
|
|
## 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/ # 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:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo install zoxide -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, try the install script:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git).
|
|
|
|
### 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`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zoxide migrate /path/to/db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### zsh
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### bash
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your `~/.bashrc`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
eval "$(zoxide init bash)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### fish
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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
