Zoxide is a smarter cd (change directory) command that supports all major shells.

Installation

A basic user-specific installation with Home Manager may look like this:

home-manager.users.myuser = {
  programs.zoxide.enable = true;
};

Change myuser to the username of the user you want to configure.

It may also be necessary to add zoxide to home.packages if it hasn't already been installed by some other method:

home.packages = with pkgs; [
  zoxide
];

Shell Integration

You can choose which shell integrations to enable with the enable*Integration options. By default all are enabled.

programs.zoxide.enableBashIntegration= true;
programs.zoxide.enableFishIntegration= true;
programs.zoxide.enableNushellIntegration = true;
programs.zoxide.enableZshIntegration = true;

It may be necessary to also ensure that Home Manager can modify your rc file; for example, bash may require:

programs.bash.enable = true;

After adding Zoxide, you will have to restart your shell to gain access to the z command.

Extra Options

You can pass extra flags to Zoxide using programs.zoxide.flags as follows:

programs.zoxide.flags = [
  "--cmd cd"
];
