It records directories a user visits and lets the user move back to them with short fuzzy queries through a shell helper, usually bound as `j`. ### Project history Jump's public GitHub releases begin with v0.1.0 on September 6, 2015. The README describes the central idea that the tool integrates with the shell, tracks visited directories, and jumps to the right directory with a few fuzzy-typed characters. The tool evolved from a simple Go command into a cross-shell navigation helper with Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell, Nushell, and Murex integration. Later releases added behavior such as deep jumps, reverse jumps, relative jumps, pins, imports from `autojump` or `z`, and based mode for repository or monorepo navigation. ### Adoption history Jump was packaged for macOS through Homebrew and MacPorts, for Nix, for Snap, and through downloadable Debian and RPM artifacts. That distribution mix put it in the same everyday CLI category as `autojump`, `z`, and other frecency-style directory jumpers. The README's import support for `autojump` and `z` shows that Jump was designed to meet users already carrying directory-history databases from earlier tools. ### How it is used Users install Jump, evaluate `jump shell` in their shell startup, and then use `j` queries to move through the filesystem. The README documents fuzzy, exact, deep, relative, reverse, case-sensitive, pinned, and based-mode jumps. Database commands such as `jump clean`, `jump forget`, and `jump top` manage or inspect the learned directory data. ### Why package nerds care Jump is a tidy example of a small Go CLI that becomes useful only through shell integration. The package-manager job is not just installing a binary, but making a discoverable post-install path for shell init. It belongs to the package-nerd genre of tools that optimize `cd`, a deceptively small workflow improvement that heavy terminal users notice immediately. ### Timeline - 2015-09-06: GitHub release v0.1.0 was published. - 2016-02-19: GitHub release v0.7.1 was published. - 2019-04-08: GitHub release v0.23.0 was published. - 2022-08-07: GitHub release v0.51.0 was published. - 2025-12-12: GitHub release v0.67.0 was published. ### Related projects - Jump is related to `autojump`, `z`, `zoxide`, and shell-native directory stack features. - The README documents import support for `autojump` and `z`, making those tools explicit migration sources. ### Sources - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** jump - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - jump: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ju/jump/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - jump: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/jump/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [mcfly](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcfly/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, shell, zsh. - [powerline-go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/powerline-go/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, fish, shell. - [sheldon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sheldon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, shell, zsh. - [babelfish](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/babelfish/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fish, shell. - [bash-language-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bash-language-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, shell. - [bashdb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bashdb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, shell. - [beautysh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/beautysh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, shell. - [bunster](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bunster/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bash, cli, developer-tools, shell. - [zoxide](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/zoxide/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
