How to automatically change to the first matching directory using fuzzy search and cd?
I want the `cd` command to automatically change to the first directory that matches a fuzzy search, without prompting me to select between multiple options.
This is what I've tried:
```bash
cd() {
local dir="$1"
local selected_dir
selected_dir=$(find . -depth 1 -type d 2>/dev/null | fzf +m -q "$dir" --height 40% --reverse --select-1)
builtin cd "$selected_dir"
}
```
This prompts me to select between different directories but I want to change automatically to the first match.

Fuzzy change directory
I want the `cd` command to automatically change to the first directory that matches a fuzzy search using `fzf`, without prompting me to select between multiple options.
This is what I've tried:
```bash
cd() {
local dir="$1"
local selected_dir
selected_dir=$(find . -depth 1 -type d 2>/dev/null | fzf +m -q "$dir" --height 40% --reverse --select-1)
builtin cd "$selected_dir"
}
```
This prompts me to select between different directories but I want to change directory to the closest directory.
