Jump is an open-source program that allows you to quickly navigate your file system by jumping to your frequently used directories. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Jump on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you start, make sure that:
Open a terminal and log in as root.
To install Jump, we first need to install Git, a version control system that is required for cloning the Jump repository. Run the following command to install Git:
apk add git
Clone the Jump repository from the Github website by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/daledavies/jump.git
Navigate to the Jump directory by running the following command:
cd jump
Install Jump by running the following command:
sudo make install
Once Jump is installed successfully, you need to set up the configuration. Jump needs to know which directories are frequently used by you, so it can create aliases for them.
Open your shell configuration file (such as .bashrc or .zshrc) by running the following command:
nano ~/.bashrc
Add the following line to your configuration:
eval "$(jump shell)"
Save the file and exit the editor.
Reload your shell configuration by running the following command:
source ~/.bashrc
Jump is now installed and ready to use! You can try jumping to one of your frequently used directories by running the following command:
j <alias>
Here, <alias> refers to the alias you created for your frequently used directory.
For example, if you set an alias for your Documents directory, you can jump to it by running the following command:
j docs
Jump will take you directly to your Documents directory!
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Jump on Alpine Linux Latest. With Jump, you can quickly navigate your file system without having to type long paths repeatedly. Happy jumping!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
