Jump is a command-line tool written in Go that integrates with your shell (bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, Nushell, and more) to speed up directory navigation. It learns your habits by tracking visited directories and lets you jump to frequently used paths with a few fuzzy-typed characters via the `j` helper.

Use cases

• jump to frequently visited directories with a few keystrokes
• fuzzy match directory names instead of typing full paths
• replace cd with a smarter directory jump command
• navigate deep directory structures quickly
• find the right directory from a short search term based on my habits

When to choose

• you frequently cd between a set of known directories and want to save keystrokes
• you want an autojump/z-style tool with fuzzy matching and multi-shell support
• you want a single static Go binary that is easy to install on macOS or Linux

When to avoid

• you rarely revisit the same directories and plain cd is sufficient
• you cannot or do not want to modify your shell configuration
• you need a GUI file navigator rather than a shell helper
