About:
Jump is a command-line tool that learns your frequently used directories and predicts where you want to go. It allows you to navigate your file system using short, unique abbreviations of paths instead of typing full commands. This significantly speeds up terminal workflows by reducing keystrokes and eliminating the need to remember complex directory structures.
Key Features:
  • Predictive path completion based on usage history
  • Abbreviation-based navigation (e.g., 'jump proj' -> '/home/user/dev/project')
  • Zsh and Bash shell integration
  • Self-learning algorithm that adapts to user habits
Use Cases:
  • Quickly switching between deeply nested project directories
  • Navigating to log files or configuration directories without full paths
  • Improving daily terminal workflow efficiency for developers and sysadmins
Alternatives:
  • zoxide – A faster, more feature-rich alternative written in Rust with interactive selection.
  • autojump – The original 'j' command, which Jump was inspired by; Jump is a Go implementation.
