zoxide VS cdhist

Head over to ajeetdsouza/zoxide and install it now! It's innovative, free, and flexible!

I use this Rust clone which works great, no complaints: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Although, I don't know what the difference is, other than the language of choice.

I use https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide, which is inspired by z and autojump.

Zoxide is basically the 'Rust Rewrite' version of the 'Z' tool and is actively maintained, I haven't had any issues with it: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Indeed, utilities like zoxide which operate primarily as a cd replacement don't attempt to change directories via rust code - they create a shell alias that ultimately invokes a shell builtin to do it.

I also still use zoxide for navigating directories. It's a smarter cd command that learns your habits and makes navigating directories a breeze.

Not sure what you mean by bookmarks, but I use zoxide to quickly jump to frequently used folders.

Consider also cdhist.

Again, not answering your question directly but you could consider using cdhist which allows FZF to search over all your previously visited directories.

Another option is cdhist which can work with fzf to fuzzy search over your directory history, rather than immediate directory paths. That is more useful to me.

I use ranger frequently also, e.g. for navigating around an unfamiliar directory tree to see what dirs and files are there. But cdist automatically keeps track of all directories I cd to and allows me to quickly jump back to any of them. Generally I work in various projects/dirs etc, and then just cd -- to switch between them (or I sometimes use fzf nowadays which can fuzzy search that cdhist history).

@wixig, can you please raise an issue on github for cdhist support. Not really appropriate here on reddit.
