Smart cd

zoxide: smarter cd command, inspired by z and autojump

Previous 'smart cd' solutions

• Fuzzy cd, using shell's history
• Fuzzy cd based on bookmarks:

Every cd is bookmarked and assigned a weight so you can later on jump to it quickly

All of the following is needed:

1. Install fzf

2. XDG setup:

   In /etc/zsh/zshenv, /etc/zshenv or ~/.zshenv:

   # XDG configuration home
   if [[ -z $XDG_CONFIG_HOME ]]
   then
      export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config
   fi
   
   # XDG data home
   if [[ -z $XDG_DATA_HOME ]]
   then
      export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.local/share
   fi

3. Bookmarks database:

   mkdir -p $XDG_DATA_HOME/marks
   
   sqlite3 $XDG_DATA_HOME/marks/marks.sqlite << 'INIT'
   CREATE TABLE marks (
     dir VARCHAR(200) UNIQUE,
     weight INTEGER
   );
   
   CREATE INDEX _dir ON marks (dir);
   INIT

4. Autoload functions (ZSH Functions):

   • fuzzy cd
   • bookmarks update
   • bookmarks cleanup

5. PWD hook function: chpwd_functions+=(update_marks) in ~/.zshrc

Usage:

c             # choose where to cd from all bookmarks
c pattern ... # cd to a matching path
c -s          # statistics
