Z – Jump Around

1. z

   1 15 1,396 1.9 Shell

   Pure-fish z directory jumping (by jethrokuan)

   

   https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua was another that I used for a long time, although I've lately started using https://github.com/jethrokuan/z

   A lot of reinventing the wheel in the z space it seems

2. InfluxDB

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. z

   2 46 16,639 3.1 Shell

   z - jump around

   

4. Jump-Location

   3 1 471 10.0 C#

   Powershell `cd` that reads your mind

   

   FYI for windows, I made this a long time ago:

   https://github.com/tkellogg/Jump-Location

   Which was fun and all, but eventually replaced by a pure PowerShell implementation that's become far more active:

   https://github.com/vors/ZLocation

5. ZLocation

   ZLocation is the new Jump-Location

6. zoxide

   5 104 26,585 8.4 Rust

   A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.

   

   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.

7. fd

   6 191 38,001 8.7 Rust

   A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

   

   You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

   I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

10. fishmarks

    8 2 112 10.0 Shell

    Bookmark and jump to directories faster than a sailfish! Fishmarks is a clone of bashmarks for the Fish shell.

    

    I was frustrated with jumping to frecent directories, so I "reverted" back to jumping back to bookmarked directories [0] (which I find much more predictable).

11. zee

    9 1 1 2.5 Shell

    Zee is a shell extension for defining shortcuts for quicker file system navigation. (by dnsv)

    

    I used something different, but it didn't work as expected because I have multiple directories that start with the same name letter. Consequently, the shortcuts changed their paths and I never ended up where I wanted.

    I built my own tool called Zee, that takes a simplified approach by only utilizing explicit user-defined shortcuts: https://github.com/dnsv/zee

12. autojump

    10 47 16,539 3.7 Python

    A cd command that learns - easily navigate directories from the command line

    

    Yes, I made a similar keybinding for xonsh, using fd and fzf. I press Alt-c, and fzf shows me all the subdirectories rooted where I'm at.

    That's a good intermediary solution. But the one that totally changed my flow was to combine autojump[1] and fzf. autojump is similar to Z (this submission). It stores all the directories you've visited in an SQLite DB and can show them to you (ordered by visit frequency) with a command line argument. So I pipe that to fzf.

    Now I can extremely quickly jump to any directory I've been to before - it really helps that they're sorted by visit frequency. I honestly use this more than any other approach - and I probably go for days on end without using the usual TAB autocompletion.

13. starship

    11 309 48,813 9.7 Rust

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

    

    It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

14. enhancd

    12 7 2,620 5.8 Shell

    :rocket: A next-generation cd command with your interactive filter

    

    I've been using enhancd for years now.

15. jump

    13 4 1,847 5.0 Go

    Jump helps you navigate faster by learning your habits. ✌️

    

    Heavy user of `z` for many years that is until it dropped its database one final time. There's nothing more frustrating then a dropped or corrupted directory database just as you've got the damn thing to remember all your favourite spots on the disk.

    These days I use https://github.com/gsamokovarov/jump which I've mapped to `z`. Happy days.

16. ranger

    14 168 16,173 8.0 Python

    A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console

    

    Came to post zoxide. Also if you use `ranger`[1] (vim inspired file manager) then you might like to add the `ranger-zoxide` plugin[2].
