apt upgrade keeps zoxide current on its
own. Currently serving zoxide 0.10.0-1+noble (updated 2026-08-18), with builds for
every current Ubuntu release. It's a plain APT repository rather than a Launchpad PPA, which means
it also works identically on Debian and on Ubuntu derivatives like Mint and Pop!_OS.
⚡ Add the repository (works like add-apt-repository)
Step 1: Add repository & key
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt updateinstall -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update🆓 There is an always-free mirror. deb-free.griffo.io serves packages free forever — no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, security fixes immediately. It currently carries Ghostty, Oh My Posh and Zed; zoxide is not one of them, so the repository above is the only way to get it today — ask and it can be enrolled.
Step 2: Install zoxide
sudo apt install -y zoxideapt install -y zoxide📋 zoxide versions per Ubuntu release
| Ubuntu release | Suite | zoxide version |
|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu 22.04 LTS “Jammy Jellyfish” | jammy | 0.10.0-1+jammy |
| Ubuntu 24.04 LTS “Noble Numbat” | noble | 0.10.0-1+noble |
| Ubuntu 25.10 “Questing Quokka” | questing | 0.10.0-1+questing |
| Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute” | resolute | 0.10.0-1+resolute |
❓ PPA questions, answered
Is this a PPA?
Technically no — it's a plain signed APT repository, which is what a PPA is under the hood.
You get the same workflow (apt install, apt upgrade) without Launchpad,
and unlike a PPA it serves Debian and Ubuntu derivatives too.
Is there an official zoxide PPA?
The zoxide project does not maintain an official PPA. Community PPAs come and go and often lag behind; this repository is updated automatically within hours of each official release, and the packaging is public.
Is this repository trustworthy?
It's an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream zoxide releases, the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/zoxide-debian, and the whole archive is GPG-signed. Several upstream projects link to it from their official installation docs.
How fast do new releases arrive?
Typically within hours of the upstream release — usually faster than community PPAs, and years ahead of the frozen Ubuntu archive. Follow the release feed to watch updates land.
