Faster cd that allows spelling mistakes.
Uses damerau-levenshtein string distance algorithm to determine closest match.
Supports changing multiple dirs at once (iterates through arguments or slashes).
The project is available on the AUR as jcd-git.
.rpm, .deb and .tar.gz are available in the github releases.
Take a look in the README.md for a more detailed overview!
The project was kinda messy, so I solved it. I removed a segfault when trying to navigate empty directories, made the error message have cleaner paths when the directory was not found, added malloc checking and clarified an error message further.
I added support for symlinks that point to directories and updated compatibility so jcd now works with filesystems that don’t support d_type (like XFS) by using c stat as a fallback
Added a custom matching strictness config option for people who make a lot of typos, readme overhaul
Added a custom alias and a custom back string so you can enter “,” for example to go one directory up instead of “..”
Add little functions like absolute paths, “-” to go to previous directory, a help message, …
Added backwards movement with “..”, fixed the init so you can just add ‘eval “$(jcd init)”’ to .zshrc or .bashrc
Added subcommands
Implemented basic functionality (no gui so i just screenshotted the code)
