[Feature Request] navigation only within git repo (or other configured "project" tree)

[petergaultney]

I may be missing something, but so far I haven't found docs for this, or other discussion of this concept.

For me, the motivating use case is a monorepo - and I have multiple clones of it. For others, the use case could be anything where there's a notion of a self-contained "project".

When I'm "in or below" a given directory root, all my z commands would be interpreted as being scoped to that project directory. I frequently want to jump around within that directory, but if I wanted to go "elsewhere", I could use cd to accomplish that (or perhaps zoxide could provide an escape sequence).

I often have many shells open in parallel, and global "frecency" doesn't help me very much, especially since, as I mentioned, I often have multiple clones of the same project, and so a name could refer to any of them, and I might have just switched mental contexts from one project/clone to the other, but zoxide may occasionally assume that I want to go to a directory within the other project.

For my purposes, either an empty dotfile (e.g. .zoxide-root) in the root directory of the 'project' or an environment variable (e.g. ZOXIDE_ROOT=1 - I would set this automagically with direnv, but there might be other ways to do this) would be perfectly acceptable solutions.
