See also "dog" which I've been using for a while, works well. https://github.com/ogham/dog https://github.com/ogham/dog I actually already have a "q" alias, I think single-letter aliases are probably quite common. Are there many other well-known utilities with a single-letter name? Edit: Turns out I have one installed, "z", a universal archiver front-end. https://legacy.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/z/ https://legacy.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/z/

I use a “z” as well, but it’s a global cd tool. https://github.com/rupa/z/ https://github.com/rupa/z/

  I use Zoxide[0], which incidentally also uses "z" as its main command, and it's also a "cd" tool. [0]: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Grr.. the latest dog binary release gives me "GLIBC_2.32 not found" errors on x64 Linux..

  A version might be on your repo - it's in the Homebrew repo on Macs.

  Huh! Today I learned that w and who aren't the same. I always thought they were.

  The `w` command is more of a `what` instead of `who`.

I use doggo, a better version written in Go: https://github.com/mr-karan/doggo https://github.com/mr-karan/doggo

It would seem that the project is stalled, if not dead. I discovered the project with this thread and I was about to file a bug report when I saw some comments about the maintainer who went silent a year ago or so.
