      This is most probably a distro-specific aliasing. Tried it on Guix, it does not work:

      $ z
      bash: z: command not found
      
      $ zoxide
      zoxide 0.9.2
      ....

        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.
