I prefer zoxide, which is very similar: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

I preferred fasd or specifically the oh-my-zsh fasd plugin for what I felt was more natural disambiguation completion (tab after vs remembering zi up front or space tab) and additional shortcuts.

I use zoxide now slightly reluctantly since fasd isn't maintained.

That repo has an ad in its readme. Never seen that before.

Huh, I didn’t even notice. Yeah, that’s a new one on me.

And it's right at the top. This is a sure way to get me to ignore your software :(

what do you prefer about it?

It’s a few things that aren’t big but add up: it’s compiled, and given how often it’s execute, that can make a difference (and especially on a heavily loaded system); it still gets updates; it plays better with Fish shell from my recollection; it supports fzf.

Z is perfectly fine. If zoxide didn’t exist, I’d use z instead. As it stands today, I think zoxide is niftier.

Just installed z. After activating it, it outputs the directory when you use cd. Can one make that stop?

Did you change the _Z_CMD? If so, you have to include 2>&1. The default is

    alias ${_Z_CMD:-z}='_z 2>&1'

Thanks, just a misunderstanding from my side. Works now. Nice tool, already getting used to it.

If you are willing to install a lua interpreter, https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua is quite nice and has more features, e.g. fzf integration and an interactive mode.
