z is so much more useful because it automatically learns which paths you use most often. There is no need to explicitly mark folders. It just works.
How does it differ from autojump?
IMHO, just for jumping around directories, z is good enough.

Put the following in your .bashrc instead: shopt -s autocd If you type a directory in the command-line, it’ll cd into it, e.g.: $ .. # cd .. $ ~ # cd ~ $ foo # cd foo I can’t live without this.
Very cool, thanks! Although: On OS X: "-bash: shopt: autocd: invalid shell option name" Apple and their outdated tools... It gets annoying after a while.
I had to modify Jeroen's code to get the `marks` shortcut working under Mac OS 10.8: export MARKPATH=$HOME/.marks function jump { cd -P $MARKPATH/$1 2> /dev/null || echo "No such mark: $1" } function mark { mkdir -p $MARKPATH; ln -s $(pwd) $MARKPATH/$1 } function unmark { rm -i $MARKPATH/$1 } function marks { ls -l $MARKPATH | sed 's/ / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- && echo }
function marks {
\ls -l $MARKPATH | tail -n +2 | sed 's/ / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- | awk -F ' -> ' '{printf "%-10s -> %s\n", $1, $2}'
}I'm too lazy to type "jump" so I've modified it to automatically add a Bash alias for each one as well. https://github.com/davejamesmiller/dotfiles/blob/master/.bas...
I've been using Bashmarks ( https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks ) for years, which appears to be basically the same thing but with a less verbose interface.

thanks! I tried: apt-get install ranger it says it's not available. any idea why ranger is not longer available in package manager?
What is your distribution? I've just tried it and it's available in both Ubuntu 12.04 and Debian 7. The launchpad page says that it should be in later Ubuntu releases, too. Enable the "universe" repository then run apt-get update and see if it fixes the problem.
Bonus: if you want autocompletion for the jump and unmark commands, just add the following lines (in zsh):
function _marks {
reply=($(ls $MARKPATH))
}
compctl -K _marks jump
compctl -K _marks unmarkI also do something similar but slightly different: https://github.com/roobert/dotfiles/blob/master/.zsh/robs/fu... my method involves storing the bookmarks in a file but loading them into zshs directory hash. This means the directories are tab completable and if you have AUTO_CD set then you can change directory with simply: ~dir_name, otherwise: cd ~dir_name.
Frankly, this is far superior to the linked method.
cool! I'm a command-line junkie as well. So, I've been doing something similar for quite a while. Here's what I have done : function ccb () { FOO=`pwd`; echo >> ~/shortcuts.sh; echo alias $1=\'pushd $FOO\' >> ~/shortcuts.sh; echo >> ~/shortcuts.sh; . ~/shortcuts.sh } simple but quite effective. Now, all I have to do is type ccb and give a shortcut name to register a shortcut. Then whenever i want to jump to that dire…
PS: I assume you are calling shortcuts.sh in your .profile - that way aliases are available across sessions.
