Cannot edit paths in the zoxide database

Author: nadiamoeCreated Oct 8, 2024Updated Sep 24, 2026

I recently renamed my home folder (e.g. from /home/old to /home/new). Unfortunately this rendered my precious zoxide database useless.

I'd like to be able to replace occurrences of /home/old to /home/new in the zoxide database, but I haven't figured out how.

What I've tried:

  • sed -i s/old/new/g ~/.local/share/zoxide/db.zo. This breaks the database (understandably).
  • zoxide edit. Doesn't seem to provide a way to actually edit paths, just scores.
  • zoxide import. This sounded promising, but there is no zoxide export.

Something that allows editing the db as a plaintext file would be amazing for these cases.
