Quickly cd into directories using fd and fzf

Prerequisites

• fzf
• fd

Setup

Just add the following function to your .bashrc or equivalent. Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 with Bash.

d() {
  local results count dir
  
  results=$(fd -td -I -- "$1")
  count=$(printf '%s\n' "$results" | grep -c .)
  
  if [ "$count" -eq 1 ]; then
    cd "$results"
  elif [ "$count" -gt 1 ]; then
    dir=$(printf '%s\n' "$results" | fzf)
    [ -n "$dir" ] && cd "$dir"
  fi
}

Demo

Updated:

• If there is only one result, it will directly cd into that directory.
• Directories in .gitignore are now included in the search.
