zoxide not working

Hello Team,

Hey @abhinitrajput, it does work, it has just been changed

Solution

Just use:

• cd instead of z
• cdi instead of zi

Legacy solution

If you wish to keep using the old, shorter z, zi, you can edit your profile.ps1 file

• Run Edit-Profile function
• Add this code to the file:

  Set-Alias -Name z -Value __zoxide_z
  Set-Alias -Name zi -Value __zoxide_zi

• Save the file

Once you reload the shell, you will have the old commands available (alongside with the cd, cdi commands)

Where was the change

Merging pull request https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/powershell-profile/pull/70 changed the way your powershell session initializes zoxide

New behaviour

I believe, correct me if i'm wrong, that running the line Invoke-Expression (& { (zoxide init --cmd cd powershell | Out-String) }) sets the alias of cd to __zoxide_z and alias of cdi to __zoxide_zi

You can see that here:

Old behaviour

The line used to be: Invoke-Expression (& { (zoxide init powershell | Out-String) }), so without the --cmd flag The default behaviour was to set z as __zoxide_z and z to __zoxide_zi

Summary

In general, you are right. After the changes z, zi commands are no longer supported by default and have been replaced by cd, cdi

Note

Just know, that you can still use the cd command with its original functionality
