Introduction to Zoxide

Zoxide is a smarter cd command. It remembers which directories you use most frequently, so you can "jump" to them in just a few keystrokes. It works on every shell (PowerShell, Bash, Zsh, CMD).

Try the command

Try jumping to a folder!

Build the command
z
queryPart of the directory name you want to go to.
Terminal
C:\Users\User>z doc

How it works

Instead of typing: cd C:\Users\Name\Documents\Projects\Work

You just type: z work

Zoxide learns that "work" usually means that long path.
