 The core of the [Zoxide integration](https://fish.rootiest.fyi/02-path-setup/) in this repository was originally adapted from the [icezyclon/zoxide.fish](https://github.com/icezyclon/zoxide.fish) plugin (MIT Licensed) and has since been heavily customized for performance and Fish 4.x compatibility.
