Installing und initializing z (https://github.com/rupa/z) with help of Homebrew.

#The power of z

Do you spend lots of time doing things like this?

cd this/is/the/path/that/i/want/so/i/type/it/all/out/to/get/whereiwant

With z, you could just do this:

z whereiwant

See README of z for all available options.


You need Homebrew to install und init z in the way it is described in this gist:

Installing z via your terminal:

brew update 
brew install z

After installing you have to load it via adding the following to your '~/.bash_profile'

# Move next only if `homebrew` is installed
if command -v brew >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    # Load rupa's z if installed
    [ -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/profile.d/z.sh ] && source $(brew --prefix)/etc/profile.d/z.sh
fi
