About:
Autojump is a command-line tool that learns your most frequently used directories and allows you to navigate to them with minimal typing. By maintaining a database of visited paths, it provides intelligent fuzzy matching to quickly jump to any project folder. This significantly speeds up terminal workflows by eliminating repetitive cd commands and directory path memorization.
Key Features:
  • Intelligent directory tracking with frequency-based scoring
  • Fuzzy matching algorithm for quick path navigation
  • Multi-shell support including Bash, Zsh, and Fish
  • Minimal configuration required for immediate use
  • Automatic database management and maintenance
Use Cases:
  • Rapid navigation between multiple project directories in development workflows
  • Quick access to deeply nested folder structures without remembering full paths
  • Improving terminal productivity by reducing repetitive directory changing commands
Alternatives:
  • zoxide – Modern Rust-based alternative with faster performance and similar functionality
  • fasd – Legacy tool offering file and directory frequency tracking with additional file operations
  • cdargs – Bookmark-based directory navigation system without automatic learning
