Easily jump to recently used directories with oh-my-zsh's 'd'-like directory history that still saved after exiting the terminal. A directory is considered to be used if you have opened a file or ran your preferred command in that directory.

• Show the list of 10 most recent used directories with d.

• Jump to any directory in the list by typing the number of the directory in the list. You need to use 0 instead of 10 to jump to the 10th directory.

• A directory path will be put to the top of the list every time you use v(vim) to edit files or o(xdg-open) to open a file from that directory. Or if you like, every time you visit a directory.

• Automatically list all files in the directory you jumped to if it contains 30 or fewer files. You can disable this feature if you like.
• Home or ~/ is never added to the history (we can just type cd).

You can modify the code to suit your needs. If you follow the installation guide, the script is located in ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump.

You can change the main command from d to another by modifying the code below:

dirjump_command="d"

By default, you can also jump with <main command> <directory number>:

d 8

If you already used any number as aliases, just delete or comment out the code from line 18 to 25.

You can make a spesific command trigger dirjump to put your current directory to the directory history by adding the following line to the end of the script:

alias <yourcommand alias>="propose_dir_path && <yourcommand> " # make sure you put a space before the closing double quote

Here's an example to make vsc an alias of code(the command to run VSCode):

alias vsc="propose_dir_path && code "

This is not recommended but if you want dirjump to always put visited directory to the history, add the following snippet to the end of the script:

# If using Zsh
if [ -n "$ZSH_VERSION" ]
then
	# Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3964198/9157799
	chpwd_functions=(${chpwd_functions[@]} propose_dir_path)
else
	cd()
	{
		builtin cd "$@" # https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/366974/307359
		propose_dir_path
	}
fi

Here, just delete it.

There you go.

1. Download the script.

    curl --create-dirs -o ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imambungo/dirjump/master/dirjump
   

2. Source the script to your shell. Don't forget to restart your terminal afterward.

    echo 'source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump' >> ~/.bashrc
   

   If you use Zsh:

    echo 'source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump' >> ~/.zshrc
   

1. Delete the script and the directory history file.

    rm -rf ~/.config/dirjump
   

2. Unsource the script from your shell.

    grep -Fxv "source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump" ~/.bashrc > temp; mv temp ~/.bashrc
   

   If you use Zsh:

    grep -Fxv "source ~/.config/dirjump/dirjump" ~/.zshrc > temp; mv temp ~/.zshrc
                                                    #####
