zoxide(1)

zoxide is a blazing fast autojumper that tracks which directories you visit most frequently, then intelligently predicts where you want to go next. It replaces the standard cd command with a faster alternative that learns your navigation patterns.

After installation, it integrates with your shell (bash, zsh, fish, etc.) so you can jump to directories by typing z followed by a partial directory name. For example, z proj might take you to ~/code/my-project if you visit it often.

zoxide stores a database of visited directories with frecency scores (a combination of frequency and recency), allowing intelligent completion and fuzzy matching across your entire directory history.

Initialize zoxide for zsh; add this line to ~/.zshrc to enable the z command

eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"

Jump to the most-visited directory matching 'myproject' (e.g., ~/work/myproject)

z myproject

Jump to an exact directory path; zoxide also works like regular cd

z ~/code/proj

Interactive search mode; displays ranked list of matching directories and lets you select one

zi

Show all tracked directories sorted by frecency score

zoxide query --list

Remove a directory from the zoxide database

zoxide remove ~/old/path

Migrate directory history from autojump to zoxide

zoxide import --from autojump

Jump back to the previous directory (like cd -)

z -
