Consider adding an ability to create aliases within jump #80

I am very gratefully using jump and was super satisfied until it started leading me to the fake directories for the searches I get used to.

My case is the following: I got used to type j sourcing which for a few months was leading me to my directory ~/dev/myproj/.../sourcing-app but at some point, I visited some deep nested autogenerated directory which looks like ~/dev/myproj.../tests/sourcing/blablabla-testname.spec.ts-snapshots and now I am suffering because every time I use my very useful command it leads me to this nonsense I need to type j j j to get to my working directory.

I would be very happy if it will be possible to do something like j override sourcing and it will always send me to the directory I expect

Hey, sorry for the super late reply... We do have such functionality, it's called jump pins!

$ jump pin
Usage: jump pin term

No term specified. Please specify a term that will be permanently
attached to the current directory. If the term contains spaces, they
will be normalized to OS separators.

Go to the directory you want to pin and call jump pin alias-term-hoes-here. jump pins will list the current pins. jump unpin term will unpin a term (the alias).

See the release notes of 0.20.0 for more information. Please, do give me feedback about the CLI UX as well.

This is wonderful! But the problem that there is nothing about such a useful command at all neither in the readme nor in the man page. I could make a PR to add it to the docs

Please do so, I'm open to any contributions. The documentation certainly can be improved!
