The Z script - take the most 'frecent' directory that matches your argument

Here is a nice little tool for command line users called the Z script.

It remembers your visited directories and gives you convenient shortcuts to them.

for example:

529@ ~ $ z ext                   // go to the most frequently used directory containing "ext"        

530@ ~/jive/sbs/extended_apis_6.0.1.5 (eapis_6) $ cd /

531@ / $ z sbs                   //  go to the most frequently used directory containing "sbs"

532@ ~/jive/sbs $ cd /

533@ / $ z -l ext                 // display all previously used directories containing "ext" 

8          /Users/dovamir/jive/sbs/extended_apis_5.0.1.5

16         /Users/dovamir/jive/sbs/extended_apis_6.0.1.5

the installation is simple, add z.sh from

https://github.com/rupa/z

to your ~ (homedir) and add

. ~/z.sh

to your .profile.

or (another way to install):

brew install z

and add to .profile

. `brew --prefix`/etc/profile.d/z.sh
