  "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",
