I really like that
cdcommand. :P-
You'll love

The command is 'z'

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 notesfrom 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 usepushd .but even then other tooling should already cover your needs.It's also so easy that you can temporarly append to
$CDPATHfor a specific session. But again, then a second pane or pushd is already available.Now downvote me, lemmy.

You have to enable it in your shell config. For bash it's
eval "$(zoxide init bash)"That will give you the
zcommand.https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

On arch the command is just
z -
When you set it up you tell it which command you want. Default is "cdi" but I changed it to "cd" immediately.

Hm 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
