zoxide

Big fan of gron[0] and zoxide[1]. Gron for flattening and viewing JSON, and zoxide (z) for fuzzily jumping around on my system or on remote systems with z installed. Also been using Rad [2] (disclaimer: am author) to replace my suite of Bash scripts and write new ones, quite happy with one atm which sets reminders e.g. 'remind 2h check the CI build' which will give me an OS reminder in two hours, I use it a ton at work.

This is the .zshrc file I have in my dotfiles. It auto installs everything if you don't have it. Starts effectively instantly.

Switched. For anyone else thinking of doing the same, zoxide can import your data from autojump: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide#installation Here's the command I ran on macOS: zoxide import --from=autojump ~/Library/autojump/autojump.txt

One useful thing I discovered recently about zoxide is that it has a basedir flag, so in theory you scan scope your query to the directory you’re in or based off some git root. something like alias zg=‘zoxide —basedir $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)’ https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/pull/1027

Apparently it is a thing. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide Well I never.

Interesting approach. Since I've converted entirely to nushell, I'm using zoxide to solve this navigation friction. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide The only thing I'm missing from zsh is path aware auto completion... supposedly this works if you enable the sqlite history for nushell but iirc it was buggy.

One more tip: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide is amazing for returning to recent project folders from the CLI. (Then I have a CLI command to open an explorer window. Directory Opus, actually)

I use a personal VS Code extension (https://github.com/robenkleene/vscode-robenkleene/) in order to extend VS Code the same way Emacs or Vim can be extended. I recently cleaned it up, and now it has three features that are important to my workflow: 1. Copy the current cursor location in grep format (i.e., `<path>:<line-number>:<column-number>`. (I use this as either a bookmark or to open the exact same cursor locatio in another editor.) 2. Zoxide (https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide) integration which I use to switch directories quickly. 3. Similarly, I added to the right-click menu in the file exporer an option to `Open Directory`, i.e., open that folder VS Code. I feels like madness to me that you can’t do this by default. (I know most folks probably juse `code .` in the project root, but if you work in a monorepo for instance there a

In case anyone is looking for inspiration, my macOS homedir contains: # multiple organizations under Projects: ~/Projects/GitHub-org-name/repo-name # temp files: ~/Scratch/0_jira ~/Scratch/1_temp ~/Scratch/2_builds ~/Scratch/9_archive # Emacs org-mode files ~/Org # Top-level screenshots ~/Screenshots Using it with zoxide[1] allows me to run "z weba" and get taken to: ~/Projects/client_org/amazing-webapp I also use a couple of helper functions in my zshrc while working in the Scratch directories: # Marky Mark and the Function Bunch function gcd { git clone $1 && cd "$(basename "$_" .git)" } function showpath { echo $PATH | sed -e $'s/:/\\\n/g' } if [[ $OSTYPE =~ ^darwin.* ]] then function brewup { brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup } fi function mc { command

Related, updating difftastic and friends if you installed via cargo: cargo install cargo-update cargo install-update --list cargo install-update --all Other fun Rust projects available via cargo: https://mise.jdx.dev/ mise-en-place, a drop-in replacement for asdf https://asdf-vm.com/ that is really fast and flexible. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide is a fantastic cd replacement, which stores where you cd to, and you can then do a partial match like "z hel" might take you to "~/projects/helloworld". https://github.com/bootandy/dust is a compliment to "du", shows which directories are using the most disk space.

You probably already know these bits & bobs, but I wanted to share: [diff] external = difft Use the fantastic difftastic instead of git's diff. https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/ [alias] fza = "!git ls-files -m -o --exclude-standard | fzf -m --print0 | xargs -0 git add" gone = "!f() { git fetch --all --prune; git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D; }; f" root = rev-parse --show-toplevel Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig. "git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf "git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote. "git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)",

I use this Rust clone which works great, no complaints: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide Although, I don't know what the difference is, other than the language of choice.
