The command is 'z'

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.
