It’s in the official docs for zoxide, you are supposed to use the z alias, and many distros just set it up directly like that. I love doing z notes from wherever I am.
That doesn’t require a separate package, especially one which uses eval on every new shell. And isn’t messing with my distros or personal aliases (and doesn’t introduce cargo-packaging).
Simply adding one to two (you get the gist) directories and a keybind for cd .. is more slick.
There are cases where you might use pushd . but even then other tooling should already cover your needs.
It’s also so easy that you can temporarly append to $CDPATH for a specific session.
But again, then a second pane or pushd is already available.
I really like that
cdcommand. :PYou’ll love
zoxidethen.It’s six letters. Can’t they just call it
zdor something? Yeah sure, I can use aliases, but why complicate in the first place?The command is ‘z’
This is most probably a distro-specific aliasing. Tried it on Guix, it does not work:
$ z bash: z: command not found $ zoxide zoxide 0.9.2 ....It’s in the official docs for zoxide, you are supposed to use the z alias, and many distros just set it up directly like that. I love doing

On arch the command is just
zHm I wonder, is it really a command? I thought it is just a function of the shell to change the working directory.
A command is anything you execute in the shell.
cdis just a built-in command
