hf is a command line utility to quickly find files and execute a command - something like Helm/Anything/CtrlP for the terminal. It tries to find the best match, like other fuzzy finders (Sublime, ido, Helm).
Here is it in action:
If you have any suggestions, please open an issue.
This project wasn't implemented as an improvement to any of the projects below - I only knew about the text editor plugins (Anything, Helm, CtrlP, Sublime's native matching...). I wanted something similar to that for the command line, and a reason to use termbox-go, a great library for creating terminal-based apps.
- fzf is a blazing fast command-line fuzzy finder written in Go
- Selecta is a fuzzy text selector for files and anything else you need to select
- Pick is "just like Selecta, but faster"
- icepick is a reimplementation of Selecta in Rust
Those projects take the elegant route - the Unix way - in the sense they don't reimplement the "find files recursively" part. I didn't consider that route because I wanted hf to work in the Windows prompt as well.
If you have Go configured in your system, you should be able to install(and update) happyfinder with the command:
go install github.com/hugows/hf@latest
The basic command is: hf [path] [command]The default path is the current folder.The default command is the first valid of $GIT_EDITOR, $EDITOR, or vim (subl on Windows).To find in your git project, use: hf -git [command] (if -git is provided, then next argument (optional) is assumed to be a command)If the binary name is 'hfg', the -git option is assumed.This was done because Windows users have no easy way of creating command aliases.A -cmd=<yourcmd> option is provided to simplify aliases. For example, I defined iga (interactive git add) like this:alias iga='hf -cmd="git add"'Examples: hf hf -git hf -git vim hf ~/go/src/ hfg rm hf . rmInside the app: a-z0-9 Edit input string (those also work: backspace/C-a/C-e/C-k/Home/End) Up/down Move cursor to next file Space Toggle mark for current file and move to next C-t Toggle mark for all files C-s Toggle "run command in shell" TAB Jump to edit command (and back) RET Run command ESC QuitWhen editing the command, the string $FILES is special and willreplaced by the select (or marked) files, properly quoted.
