autojump - a faster way to navigate your filesystem
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped to.*
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
`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.
|
|

KNOWN ISSUES
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- autojump does not support directories that begin with `-`.
|
|
|
|
- For bash users, autojump keeps track of directories by modifying
|
|
`$PROMPT_COMMAND`. Do not overwrite `$PROMPT_COMMAND`:
|
|
|
|
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a"
|
|
|
|
Instead append to the end of the existing $PROMPT\_COMMAND:
|
|
|
|
export PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND ;} history -a"
