            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.

              Description fifth point (5.)

              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.

              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 z command.

        When you set it up you tell it which command you want. Default is “cdi” but I changed it to “cd” immediately.
