Shell setup

sicth provides a shell wrapper to enable "cd on exit". Without it, the shell process that runs sicth cannot be navigated by sicth (as child processes cannot change parent's working directory).

Run this to install the wrapper:

sicth --setup

This adds an alias or function named sc to your shell profile. Running sc opens sicth, and quitting will cd your shell to the last browsed directory.
