finder

Navigate between directories using a terminal fuzzy finder

The script uses fzf to navigate to any visible directory from anywhere in your file system. The default base directory is "home", but you can specify your starting directory as a parameter

How to set up

• Clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/Ihor16/finder.git

• Installe the "fzf" package as described here. For example, run

  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install fzf

• Run the "setup.sh" script

  ./setup.sh

The "setup.sh" script is documented, so you can take a look at what exactly it does

How to use

Default behavior:

• Type fn and start typing the name of the directory you want to go to. This will filter through all visible directories that start at "home" and navigate to where you want

Change a directory from where the search starts:

• Pass the directory as an argument to fn command. For example, this will start searching from your current directory

  fn .

• In the "f.sh" script, edit the dir variable assignment from "~" to your own one. This will make fn start searching from that directory by default
