Everyone should use zoxide
I stopped using cd since more than a year ago.
Now I use zoxide.
It’s a small rust tool, super fast, and it just remembers every folder you’ve been to. Next time you want to jump back, type:
z projects
z notes
z blog
That’s it. No full paths. No thinking. It learns your habits.
And the best part: zi + fzf.
zi
It pops up a fuzzy list of your most used folders. Type a few letters, hit enter, and you’re there.
Example:
zi→ typedoc→ jumps straight to~/work/docs/2025.- Way faster than
cd ~/work/docs/2025.
After 5 minutes, cd feels broken.
Bonus tricks:
alias cd="z"
nvim $(zi)
