Autojump – An Advanced ‘cd’ Command to Quickly Navigate Linux Filesystem
The AutoJump is a command-line utility tool that helps us to navigate the file system more efficiently by quickly jumping to recently visited directories. AutoJump keeps a record of directories previously accessed by the user thus we will be able to switch between the directories swiftly instead of the traditional way of traversing it through the hierarchy. This is achieved by keeping track of the directories visited by the user and assigning importance or “weight” to the directories based on factors such as the time spent by the user.
