## Introduction
|
|
|
|
`zoxide` is a blazing fast alternative to `cd`, 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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 import
|
|
your existing database into `zoxide`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zoxide import /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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### POSIX
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your shell's configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
eval "$(zoxide init posix)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you modify your `PS1` at any point, you may need to re-run the above command. This is due
|
|
to the fact that the hook is stored in `PS1`, in order to be evaluated every time the prompt is
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: PWD hooks are currently not supported for POSIX shells.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### `init` flags
|
|
|
|
- `--no-define-aliases`: don't define extra aliases like `zi`, `zq`, `za`, and `zr`
|
|
- `--hook <HOOK>`: change the event that adds a new entry to the database (default: `prompt`)
|
|
- `none`: never add entries (this will make `zoxide` useless unless you manually configure a hook)
|
|
- `prompt`: add an entry at every prompt
|
|
- `pwd`: add an entry whenever you change directories
|
|
|
|
### Environment variables
|
|
|
|
- `$_ZO_DATA_DIR`: directory where `zoxide` will store its data files (default:
|
|
platform-specific; see the [`dirs` documentation] for more information)
|
|
- `$_ZO_ECHO`: `z` will print the matched directory before navigating to it
|
|
- `$_ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS`: list of directories separated by platform-specific
|
|
characters ("`:`" on Linux and macOS, and "`;`" on Windows) to be excluded from
|
|
the database
|
|
- `$_ZO_MAXAGE`: sets the maximum total rank after which entries start getting deleted
