Autojump is a command line utility for quickly jumping between previously visited folders. It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line.

If you need to jump between folders frequently, instead of manually writing out cd ../other-project you could use j oth which would jump you to the nearest folder fuzzily matching oth.

Or between a couple of projects:

$ j app
$ pwd
# /Users/rixcy/Projects/my-app

$ j lib
$ pwd
# /Users/rixcy/Projects/my-library

Installation

Full installation instructions can be found on the README here. If you're on a Mac and use Homebrew you can just run brew install autojump.
