z.lua is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It tracks your most used directories, based on 'frecency'. After a short learning phase, z will take you to the most 'recent' directory that matches ALL of the regexes given on the command line, in order. Available for posix shells, bash, zsh, dash, sh, ash, ksh, busybox and etc. Available for Fish Shell, Power Shell and Windows cmd. An enhanced matching algorithm takes you to where ever you want precisely. Allow updating database only if $PWD changed with "$_ZL_ADD_ONCE" set to 1. Interactive selection enables you to choose where to go before cd. Integrated with FZF (optional) for interactive selection and completion. Quickly go back to a parent directory instead of typing "cd ../../..". Corresponding experience in different shells and operating systems. 10x times faster than fasd and autojump, 3x times faster than z.sh.
