Zoxide looks really cool
- kstrauser 2y agoI adore it. `z <project I'm working on>` is my brain's hardwired shortcut to get back to what I was doing. Pair it with dotenv to automatically set my my shell environment for that project, whatever it is I'm doing at the moment, and it's sooo ergonomic to bounce around between tasks.
- elmariachi 2y agoIt is! It's saved me quite a bit of typing since I started using it.
- stared 2y agoIt is a simple tool, yet it makes a day-and night difference when traversing directories.
- marcinreal 2y agoI didn't like frecency in this and similar tools. I would often get put in directories that I didn't want. I wrote my own simple script that just uses recency, and if there's multiple possible matches you get to choose which one you want (though this is configurable). https://github.com/mrcnski/compnav https://github.com/mrcnski/compnav
- BeetleB 2y ago> I would often get put in directories that I didn't want. I solved this by combining it with fzf. Get all the directories you've ever visited and pass on to fzf (sorted by frequency). Then do your matching. You can trivially see if the match is taking you where you want. If not it is likely the second or third match. You're no longer constrained to navigating only to the top matched directory. I have this bound to a keystroke in my shell.
- I_complete_me 2y agoI use dirjump [1] for this. I use zoxide alongside it. [1] https://github.com/imambungo/dirjump https://github.com/imambungo/dirjump
- darkteflon 2y agoI used and loved z for years but migrated to zsh-z (https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z) when MacOS switched the default shell and it became apparent that z wouldn’t be compatible with it. Anyone have a view on whether I should switch from zsh-z (~2k gh stars) to Zoxide (~22k stars)?
