Zoxide usually learns automatically. But sometimes you want to teach it a path before you visit it, or fix a path that isn't ranking high enough.
Try the command
Add the current directory!
Build the command
zoxide add
pathThe full path to the directory you want to add.
Terminal
C:\Users\User>zoxide add C:\Project
How it works
Running zoxide add . adds the current directory to the database. If it's already there, it bumps its score (frecency), making it more likely to be chosen when you jump.
Real-World Example
Teaching Zoxide a new project
You just cloned a repo. You want to be able to jump to it immediately from anywhere.
Command Prompt
C:\Users\User>zoxide add C:\Users\Dev\NewProject
(Now you can just type z NewProject from anywhere!)
