👋

Have you ever j bweb only to end up in the wrong project? Bummer, right? Well, when our matching fails, you can now (manually) fix it! You can use a 📌, when you need to.

j pin bweb will force j bweb to always go to the current directory.
j pin bweb /directory/path will force j bweb to always go to /directory/path

This release also fixes a regression in the deep jump search. What is deep jump search and why it isn't that well advertized you may ask? Very good question!

Deep Jump

Jump normalized all search terms to the base names of the scored directories, because absolute paths are long and short terms can fuzzy match them easily.

Given the following filesystem structure:

/Users/foo/Development/society/
|-- artwork
|-- interview
+-- website

/Users/foo/Development/chaos/
+-- website

To ensure a match of /Users/foo/Development/chaos/website:

$ j ch/web
$ pwd
/Users/foo/Development/chaos/website

The search is normalized only on the last two parts of the target paths. This will ensure a better match, because the shorter path to fuzzy match on.

There can be many separators in the term.

$ j dev/ch/web
$ pwd
/Users/foo/Development/chaos/website

The term above will match the last three directories of the path, yielding /Users/foo/Development/chaos/website.

You are welcome, 🌍. Much ❤️ from the Southeastern Europe!

j is the new z, yo!

That's right! j is dead! Use whatever instead!

With 0.10.0 around, you can bind the j to whatever (and I mean it) you want! Say you are @luhova and have been using z for a while... You can replace it with jump, without having to teach your fingers to type j! All you need to do is integrate jump to your shell with eval "$(jump shell --bind=z)" and that's it.

Of course, stealing z users isn't jump's only goal. The most important one is looking cool around your peers, as we all know from {child,adult}hood. How can you beat goto there? You can't. You gotta join it.

eval "$(jump shell --bind=goto)"

You are welcome!

Heya! Jump 0.9.0 is coming with even better hand-tuned directory solver!

Man, this sounds smart and complicated! Man, this talk about smarts and complications sounds cheesy as hell! Sometimes a cheese is just a cheese, I guess. Trying to fake something to be funny is like trying to fake something to be weird. It's funny that weird sells, right? Adults those days.

Sometimes, jump 0.8.0 is kinda like your long running project. It doesn't move on. You used to spend your time on phrownie_boints, but now you're wasting your good health on that Nintendo Entertainment System emulator you do in the nes project folder. j nes would have still got you in phrownie_boints, though, because it has n and e and s with that nice order (phrowNiE_bointS) and it's score is still much higher. 0.9.0 will see that and help you move on.

What I'm trying to say is, jump is way better at resolving exact matches now. Even if you are not bitter about your work life, jump will still understand you. j nes will get you to the relevant project now. j nes my friend. j nes

Jump, helping you attain satori one release at a time.

Hello fella jumpers! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, sit no more, cause we're dropping this new jump release with jump clean.

jump can clean non existing directories from its database when a jump cd happen. This is when you just j, so you won't end up on no-longer present directory.

However, if you are using jump programmatically, say piping it to fzf, you can explicitly clean the database from no longer existing entries with jump clean. 🥛

Thanks to @amosbird for the suggestion.

Fixes a newly introduced crash on fresh jump installs.

With Go 1.6 still hot, jump brings it to 0.7.0!

With 0.7.0 comes an advisory locking around the internal scores and search files writes. This means that we hope we no longer have those corrupted internal databases.

There are also a bit of minor performance improvements.

EDIT: There is a severe crash in 0.7.1. Please use 0.7.1 instead.

Fixes a bash issue with sibling PROMPT_COMMAND functions. Now, jump entry in there preserves the current status. If you are using PROMPT_COMMAND to control your shell presentation, you will find this fix quite useful.

With 0.6.0 a jump can never land on the current working directory. You are welcome, world!

Fix the regression of j /absolute/path not working in 0.5.0.
