Z

Jul 20, 2023

Takes you to your most used directories, based on “frecency”

z tracks your most used directories, based on ‘frecency’.

After a short learning phase, z will take you to the most ‘frecent’ directory that matches ALL of the regexes given on the command line, in order.

For example, z foo bar would match /foo/bar but not /bar/foo. Because they’re regexes, z f b would take you to /foo/bar as well.

z is designed for use only with zsh and bash.
