zoxide is a **smarter cd command**, inspired by z and autojump.
It remembers which directories you use most frequently, so you can "jump" to
them in just a few keystrokes.<br />
zoxide works on all major shells.

## Getting started
![Tutorial][tutorial]
```sh
z foo # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo
z foo bar # cd into highest ranked directory matching foo and bar
z foo / # cd into a subdirectory starting with foo
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)
z foo<SPACE><TAB> # show interactive completions (zoxide v0.8.0+, bash 4.4+/fish/zsh only)
```

### *Step 2: Add zoxide to your shell*
To start using zoxide, add it to your shell.
<details>
<summary>Bash</summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.bashrc`):
```sh
eval "$(zoxide init bash)"
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Elvish</summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.elvish/rc.elv`):
```sh
eval (zoxide init elvish | slurp)
```
Note: zoxide only supports elvish v0.18.0 and above.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Fish</summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.config/fish/config.fish`):
```fish
zoxide init fish | source
```
Note: zoxide only supports fish v3.4.0 and above.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Nushell</summary>
Add this to your env file (find it by running `$nu.env-path` in Nushell):
```sh
zoxide init nushell | save ~/.zoxide.nu
```
Now, add this to the end of your config file (find it by running
`$nu.config-path` in Nushell):
```sh
source ~/.zoxide.nu
```
Note: zoxide only supports Nushell v0.63.0 and above.
</details>
<details>
<summary>PowerShell</summary>
Add this to your configuration (find it by running `echo $profile` in
PowerShell):
```powershell
# For zoxide v0.8.0+
Invoke-Expression (& {
$hook = if ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -lt 6) { 'prompt' } else { 'pwd' }
(zoxide init --hook $hook powershell | Out-String)
})
# For older versions of zoxide
Invoke-Expression (& {
$hook = if ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -lt 6) { 'prompt' } else { 'pwd' }
(zoxide init --hook $hook powershell) -join "`n"
})
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Xonsh</summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.xonshrc`):
```python
execx($(zoxide init xonsh), 'exec', __xonsh__.ctx, filename='zoxide')
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Zsh</summary>
Add this to your configuration (usually `~/.zshrc`):
```sh
eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"
```
For completions to work, the above line must be added *after* `compinit` is
called. You may have to rebuild your cache by running
`rm ~/.zcompdump*; compinit`.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Any POSIX shell</summary>
Add this to your configuration:
```sh
eval "$(zoxide init posix --hook prompt)"
```
</details>
### *Step 3: Install fzf (optional)*
[fzf] is a command-line fuzzy finder, used by zoxide for interactive selection.
It can be installed from [here][fzf-installation].
Note: zoxide only supports fzf v0.21.0 and above.
### *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>autojump</summary>
```sh
zoxide import --from autojump path/to/db
```
The default path varies according to your system:
| OS | Path | Example |
| ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Linux | `$XDG_DATA_HOME/autojump/autojump.txt` or `$HOME/.local/share/autojump/autojump.txt` | `/home/alice/.local/share/autojump/autojump.txt` |
| macOS | `$HOME/Library/autojump/autojump.txt` | `/Users/Alice/Library/autojump/autojump.txt` |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\autojump\autojump.txt` | `C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\autojump\autojump.txt` |
</details>
<details>
<summary>z, z.lua, or zsh-z</summary>
```sh
zoxide import --from z path/to/db
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>ZLocation</summary>
```powershell
$db = New-TemporaryFile
(Get-ZLocation).GetEnumerator() | ForEach-Object { Write-Output ($_.Name+'|'+$_.Value+'|0') } | Out-File $db
zoxide import --from z $db
```
</details>
## Configuration
### Flags
When calling `zoxide init`, the following flags are available:
- `--cmd`
- Changes the prefix of the `z` and `zi` commands.
- `--cmd j` would change the commands to (`j`, `ji`).
- `--cmd cd` would replace the `cd` command (doesn't work on Nushell / POSIX shells).
- `--hook <HOOK>`
- Changes how often zoxide increments a directory's score:
| Hook | Description |
| -------- | --------------------------------- |
| `none` | Never |
| `prompt` | At every shell prompt |
| `pwd` | Whenever the directory is changed |
- `--no-cmd`
- Prevents zoxide from defining the `z` and `zi` commands.
- These functions will still be available in your shell as `__zoxide_z` and
`__zoxide_zi`, should you choose to redefine them.
### Environment variables
Environment variables<sup>[?][wiki-env]</sup> can be used for configuration.
They must be set before `zoxide init` is called.
- `_ZO_DATA_DIR`
- Specifies the directory in which the database is stored.
- The default value varies across OSes:
| OS | Path | Example |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Linux / BSD | `$XDG_DATA_HOME` or `$HOME/.local/share` | `/home/alice/.local/share` |
| macOS | `$HOME/Library/Application Support` | `/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support` |
| Windows | `%LOCALAPPDATA%` | `C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local` |
- `_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] during interactive selection. See
[`man fzf`][fzf-man] 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.
