## What it is
|
|
|
|
zoxide is a smarter `cd`. It remembers the directories you visit and ranks them by how often and how recently you use them, so you can jump to one by typing a fragment of its path.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
z webcore # cd to the directory you use most that matches "webcore"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Why it's here
|
|
|
|
- **Fewer keystrokes.** No more typing long paths to projects you open every day.
|
|
- **Learns as you go.** There's nothing to set up: it ranks directories from your history.
|
|
|
|
## On CoreDesktop
|
|
|
|
zoxide is installed from pacman and turned on for Bash by CoreDesktop's shell setup, which gives you the `z` command. `zi` does the same with an interactive fzf list. `update` keeps zoxide current with the pacman packages.
