## What it is
A pure-fish port of the z directory jumping tool for the fish shell. It tracks visited directories and uses frequency and recency to let users quickly jump to frequently used directories, with tab-completions and lazy-loading.

## Use cases
- jump to frequently visited directories in fish shell
- cd to a directory by fuzzy name match
- track directory visit frequency and recency
- quickly switch between project folders in the terminal
- install a z plugin via fisher

## When to choose
- you use fish shell and want fast, fish-native directory jumping
- you want tab-completions and lazy-loading in a z port
- you install fish plugins with Fisher

## When to avoid
- you use bash or zsh instead of fish (use rupa/z or zoxide instead)
- you need a actively maintained tool (project is seeking a new maintainer)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: fish-shell, fisher, directory-jumping, z-plugin, shell-plugin, command-line
