Cdpath: Easily Navigate Directories in the Terminal
https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua is quite nice and has more features, e.g. fzf integration and an interactive mode.

What terminal apps are you using?
Then install: - z.lua - better cd - exa - better ls - trash - rm deletes completely - trash moves files to trash, so you can recover them - massren - absolutely the best file/folder renamer (especially for devs) - tldr - better than man
- Z.lua: A new CD command that helps you navigate faster by learning your habits
- A statically typed scripting language that transpiles to Posix sh

Is there something like z available for git?
With z you can CD into a directory like ~/Documents/Foo/Bar/Baz by executing z baz.
-
What is your cd system?
I used to keep some directory bookmarks with apparix, but nowadays I just use z.lua.

A new zsh plugin for finding z abbreviations
Currently zabb mainly supports the zoxide implementation of z. It works ok with z.lua, fasd and z, but may not find the shortest abbreviations for those. It may work for other implementations if they support the z -e command. I welcome PRs to expand zabb to other implementations.
