Zz: A smart and efficient directory changer (2017)

• axegon_ 7y ago
  I like it. Kinda reminds me of jump[1] which at a period I was using a lot but forgot about it when I got a newer laptop and did the "oh crap, I miss that, I'll install it tomorrow" for 3 weeks and eventually forgot about it.

  Shameless plug: a shell I develop has builtin directory history: https://elv.sh/learn/cookbook.html https://elv.sh/learn/cookbook.html (search for "directories")

    Fish has it as well.

    You can make this for bash. I have "nd" and "pd", step to next or previous directory in the directory history (and "cd" adds an entry to the history). I like this a bit better then z, but it would be better to have both. Code is here if anyone interested, look for the funccd, funcnextdir, funcprevdir and associated aliases. https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/blob/master/setup/bashrc https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/blob/master/setup/ba...

  I used this for a bit, but ultimately found the non-determinism to be a problem for me. I ended up specifically aliasing a few common directories, going from there to sub-dirs was really easy.

  I use fzf’s https://github.com/junegunn/fzf https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ctrl+r for this. This is like ctrl-p in sublime text, but for recent commands. The nice thing is this works for every kind of command, not just cd. If you configure your shell with a long history, it really saves a lot of typing.
