zoxide: Go to the highest-ranked directory that contains "foo" in the name.
$ zoxide query ${foo}
try on your machine

The command "zoxide query ${foo}" is using the "zoxide" command-line tool to perform a query for a particular directory path represented by the variable "foo".

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "zoxide": This is the name of the command-line tool that helps with efficient directory navigation.
  • "query": This is a command within the "zoxide" tool that allows you to search for directories based on certain criteria.
  • "${foo}": This is a placeholder variable named "foo" that represents a directory path you want to search for. The "$" symbol is used to denote variables in some shell environments (like bash).

By replacing "${foo}" with the actual directory path you are interested in, the command will search for that path in the zoxide database to see if it exists and provide you with a result, such as the full path or an error message if it doesn't exist.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
