After trying such history-based automatic tools I found they lacked predictability for me.

So the very small 50 LOC kd was born:

    kd # jumps to project top level (based on .git/Gemfile)
    kd foobar "$PWD" # saves an entry named foobar pointing to $PWD
    kd foo # jumps to foobar
    cp qux $(kd foo) # expands to foobar's value
I should probably make it expand to absolute paths so that I could change "$PWD" to .

Nice, looks like mine from ~20 years ago

    g .       # add current dir to bookmarks
    g         # list bookmarks
    g del     # open bookmarks in vi (should use $EDITOR ...)
    g <regex> # jump to first matching bookmark
Wonder how many monthdays I saved compared to colleagues still navigating manually :D
