-- `--cmd`: changes the prefix of predefined aliases (`z`, `zi`).
+- `--cmd`
+ - Changes the prefix of predefined aliases (`z`, `zi`).
- e.g. `--cmd j` would change the aliases to `j` and `ji` respectively.
-- `--hook `: change how often zoxide increments a directory's score:
- - `none`: never automatically add directories to zoxide.
- - `prompt`: add the current directory to zoxide at every shell prompt.
- - `pwd`: whenever the user changes directories, add the new directory to
- zoxide.
-- `--no-aliases`: don't define extra aliases (`z`, `zi`).
+- `--hook `
