"github_readme_excerpt": "NAME\n----\n\nautojump - a faster way to navigate your filesystem\n\nDESCRIPTION\n-----------\n\nautojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by\nmaintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the\ncommand line.\n\n*Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped to.*\n\nUSAGE\n-----\n\n`j` is a convenience wrapper function around `autojump`. Any option that\ncan be used with `autojump` can be used with `j` and vice versa.\n\n- Jump To A Directory That Contains `foo`:\n\n j foo\n\n- Jump To A Directory That Contains `foo`, Preferring Child Directories:\n\n You can prioritize child directories over matches in the databases via\n\n jc foo\n\n- Open File Manager To Directories (instead of jumping):\n\n Instead of jumping to a directory, you can open a file explorer\n window (Mac Finder, Windows Explorer, GNOME Nautilus, etc.) to the\n directory instead.\n\n jo music\n\n Opening a file manager to a child directory is also supported:\n\n jco images\n\n- Using Multiple Arguments:\n\n Let\u0027s assume the following database:\n\n 30 /home/user/mail/inbox\n 10 /home/user/work/inbox\n\n `j in` would jump into /home/user/mail/inbox as the higher\n weighted entry. However you can pass multiple arguments to autojump\n to prefer a different entry. In the above example, `j w in` would\n then change directory to /home/user/work/inbox.\n\nFor more options refer to help:\n\n autojump --help\n\nINSTALLATION\n------------\n\n### REQUIREMENTS\n\n- Python v2.6+ or Python v3.3+\n- Supported shells\n - bash - first class support\n - zsh - first class support\n - fish - community supported\n - tcsh - community supported\n - clink - community supported\n- Supported platforms\n - Linux - first class support\n - OS X - first class support\n - Windows - community supported\n - BSD - community supported\n- Supported installation methods\n - source code - first class support\n - Deb",
