autojump - a faster way to navigate your filesystem

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.

  jc bar
  

• 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:

  jco images
  

• 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.

For more options refer to help:

• For bash users, autojump keeps track of directories by modifying $PROMPT_COMMAND. Do not overwrite $PROMPT_COMMAND:

  Instead append to the end of the existing $PROMPT_COMMAND:

  export PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND ;} history -a"
