There is a different project called z:

I’d never heard of it but it was the first search result for “z github”.

Or the pure zsh version, which is superior, since it eliminates a ton of forking by eliminating calls to external tools (the original z script relies heavily on awk, sort, date, sed, mv, rm, and chown). There are also significant stability improvements to the database thanks to proper locking.

Failed twenty ways to Sunday if I set `ZSHZ_DATA="$HOME/.local/share/zsh-z"` . Could not get it to recover from it.
