    • Short answer: pipe ghq list --full-path through grep to get the path, then cd to it.
    • bash

      cd "$(ghq list --full-path | grep -m 1 <repo-name>)"

    • For exact owner/repo matching, ghq list output is in owner/repo form — combine with ghq root or use --full-path:
    • bash

      # Exact owner/repo, full path
      cd "$(ghq list --full-path | grep -m 1 owner/repo)"

    • To guard against the repo not existing locally (silent no-op instead of a cd error):
    • bash

      dir="$(ghq list --full-path | grep -m 1 owner/repo)" && [ -d "$dir" ] && cd "$dir"

    • For interactive fuzzy selection across all local repos, pair with fzf:
    • bash

      cd "$(ghq list --full-path | fzf)"

    • Note: ghq look <repo> (older versions) opened a sub-shell instead of a true cd; ghq list --full-path | grep is the idiomatic replacement.
