Lacy is a cd alternative that makes navigating much more efficient.
Have you ever been annoyed after mistyping a directory name with the cd command, or found cd autocomplete tedious when you have many similarly named directories?
Lacy solves this by improving the cd functionality in smart ways, but keeping it as simple as cd – if you know cd, you know lacy!
But lacy also adds new features to make navigating in the terminal easier and faster!
This is free and open source software.
