# zoxide
[![crates.io][crates.io-badge]][crates.io]
[![Downloads][downloads-badge]][releases]
[![Built with Nix][builtwithnix-badge]][builtwithnix]
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.

</div>
## 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)
```

## 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.
- `--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[^2] 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.
