jumpdir is a heuristic directory change command that learns about your environment as you navigate from directory to directory (including network-mapped directories). It's based on a tool I wrote many years ago that was quite successful (setdir), but for various reasons I'm re-writing it from the ground up.

It is currently in a very rough preliminary state, having undergone multiple false starts. In particular, I am trying to work out the best way to achieve proper Unicode handling with cross-platform capability. Both of these, I think, are fairly settled now, particularly with C++'s new std::filesystem as a way to navigate filesystems on many platforms.

Before re-engaging in this project, I'm working to finalize the transition of pathmatch to use std::filesystem. In addition, I may choose to adopt LSON as my data storage format, which will also delay things quite a bit.

This project uses the CMake build tool. CMake is a meta-build system that locates and uses your local development tools to build the project if possible.

To build, first install [CMake][https://cmake.org/]. Then go to the project root directory and run the following command:

cmake -B build

This will locate your installed development tools and configure your project build in the build/ directory. After that, whenever you want a new build, run this command:

cmake --build build

This will build a debug version of the project, located in build/Debug/. To build a release version, run

cmake --build build --config release

You can find the built release executable in build/Release/.
