autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by maintaining a
database of the directories you use the most from the command line.

*Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped to.*

`j` is a convenience wrapper function around `autojump`. Any option that can
be used with `autojump` can be used with `j` and vice versa.

- Jump To A Directory That Contains `foo`:

j foo
- Jump To A Child Directory:

Sometimes it's convenient to jump to a child directory (sub-directory of
current directory) rather than typing out the full name.

- Open File Manager To Directories (instead of jumping):
Instead of jumping to a directory, you can open a file explorer window (Mac
Finder, Windows Explorer, GNOME Nautilus, etc.) to the directory instead.

Opening a file manager to a child directory is also supported:

- Using Multiple Arguments:
Let's assume the following database:
30 /home/user/mail/inbox
10 /home/user/work/inbox
`j in` would jump into /home/user/mail/inbox as the higher weighted
entry. However you can pass multiple arguments to autojump to prefer
a different entry. In the above example, `j w in` would then change
directory to /home/user/work/inbox.
