## NAME
|
|
|
|
autojump - a faster way to navigate your filesystem
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
Jump to a previously visited directory 'foobar':
|
|
|
|
j foo
|
|
|
|
Show all database entries and their respective key weights:
|
|
|
|
jumpstat
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
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. The jumpstat command shows you the current contents of the
|
|
database. Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped
|
|
to.
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
Options must be passed to 'autojump' and not the 'j' wrapper function.
|
|
|
|
-a, --add DIR manually add path to database
|
|
|
|
--stat show database entries and their key weights
|
|
|
|
--version show version information and exit
|
|
|
|
## INTERNAL OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
-b, --bash enclose directory with quotes to prevent errors
|
|
|
|
--completion prevent key weight decay over time
|
|
|
|
## ADVANCED USAGE
|
|
|
|
- Prefer Symbolic Links
|
|
|
|
Default behavior is to evaluate symbolic links into full paths as to
|
|
reduce duplicate entries in the database. However, some users prefer
|
|
a shorter working directory path in their shell prompt. To switch
|
|
behavior to prefer symbolic links, export the following
|
|
configuration in your \~/.bashrc:
|
|
|
|
export AUTOJUMP_KEEP_SYMLINKS=1
|
|
|
|
- Change Directory Weight
|
|
|
|
To manually change a directory's key weight, you can edit the file
|
|
*$XDG\_DATA\_HOME/autojump/autojump.txt*. Each entry has two
|
|
columns. The first is the key weight and the second is the path:
|
|
|
|
29.3383211216 /home/user/downloads
|
|
|
|
All negative key weights are purged automatically.
|
|
|
|
## FILES
|
|
|
|
If installed locally, autojump is self-contained in *\~/.autojump/*.
|
|
|
|
The database is stored in *$XDG\_DATA\_HOME/autojump/autojump.txt*.
