Original maintainer said: Not maintained anymore. I use zoxide now.

But I found it useful, as it just adds new functionnality to standard bash. And its quite simple... Tested on linux redhat 8 and ubuntu 22.04, and opensuse tumbleweed.

dirjump

Easily jump to recently used directories with oh-my-zsh's 'd'-like directory history that still saved after exiting the terminal.

Usage

Main Feature

• Show the list of 10 most recent used directories with d.

• Jump to any directory in the list by typing the number of the directory in the list.

• A directory path will be put to the top of the list every time you visit a directory.

Additional Feature

• Home or ~/ is never added to the history (we can just type cd).
• Shows the last time a path was popped out from the history. This information may help you adjust the history size to better suit your need. To change the history size, refer to this section

Personal Preference

You can modify the code to suit your needs. If you follow the installation guide, the script is located in ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump.

Change the main command

You can change the main command from d to another by modifying the code below:

dirjump_command="d"

Alternative command to jump

By default, you can also jump with <main command> <directory number>:

d 8

If you already used any number as aliases, just delete or comment out the code from line 17 to 22.

Um... only 10??

There you go.

Installation

1. Download the script.

    curl --create-dirs -o ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imambungo/dirjump/master/dirjump
   

2. Source the script to your shell. Don't forget to restart your terminal afterward.

    echo 'source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump' >> ~/.bashrc
   

   If you use Zsh:

    echo 'source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump' >> ~/.zshrc
   

Uninstallation

1. Delete the script and the directory history file.

    rm -rf ~/.config/dirjump
   

2. Unsource the script from your shell.

    grep -Fxv "source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump" ~/.bashrc > temp; mv temp ~/.bashrc
   

   If you use Zsh:

    grep -Fxv "source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump" ~/.zshrc > temp; mv temp ~/.zshrc
                                                    #####
