Introduction

You probably spend a lot of time typing directory paths:

cd ~/projects/work/client-sites/acme-corp/backend/api
# Later...
cd ~/projects/work/client-sites/acme-corp/backend/api  # Again

Or this:

cd ../../..
cd client-sites/acme-corp/backend/api

zoxide learns your directories and lets you jump with a few characters.

Traditional:

cd ~/projects/work/client-sites/acme-corp/backend/api

With zoxide:

z api

That's it.

How It Works

zoxide tracks every directory you visit and ranks by frequency and recency.

# You have these directories:
# /home/user/projects/acme/backend/api (visited 20x)
# /home/user/projects/widgets/api (visited 2x)

z api
# → /home/user/projects/acme/backend/api

Most visited wins.

Multiple Keywords

Match against the full path with spaces:

z work acme    # → ~/projects/work/client-sites/acme-corp
z blog articles # → ~/projects/personal/blog/content/articles

No slashes needed.
