This may be my favorite CLI tool ever 

Thanks, nerd

You are one of the few devs who actually understands his tooling and is willing to take the time and effort required to properly learn them to make your workflow faster. More devs need to follow this mentality.

If you use the `--bind "enter:become(nvim {})"` flag then it will open the selected file(s) in nvim for you (without needing to prepend your command with `nivm ...`), which means that you can cancel out of the fzf finder without neovim from being entered. With the command listed, escaping fzf will still open nvim, which might not be what you want if you're trying to escape the search. For completeness, this is my alias. alias nf='fzf -m --preview="bat --color=always {}" --bind "enter:become(nvim {})"'

Sweet, now i got my day planned. Don't know how I missed this program

Also nice: 1. nvim Ctrl + t ( opens fzf. Of course works for any command ). 2. Ctrl + r opens shell command history

Amazing tool! I should start using it

i used it before but learned new things today i hadn't figured out earlier

Why do you keep giving us great weekend projects?? Thanks for showing us this. Now I can't wait to get home and install it.

0:42 The pacman frontend name almos killed me 🤣

Now, this is a really good trick!

thanks nerd, your video + coffee = great day

fzf is very nice as is your video and guide. Thanks. I picked up some very useful things I hadn't used. I also use cntrl r in bash and search history that way which is kind of similar but where fsf is not present

I use fzf every day for work. It’s probably the best CLI tool out there!

Thank you, Chris.

Take a shot every time he says, “Fuzzily findable.”

That kill command looks insanely useful. Giving fzf a try!

i did not know i need it. thanks O_O

with fzf on my shell i can press ctrl+r then it will fuzzy find any commands on my bash history, i use it quite often

Amazing content. Subscribed!! By the way can you tell me where you got your desktop wallpaper from?

Fzf is one of my favorite tools, I have a few videos covering it on my channel. I made videos showing how I use it to make my menus, my app launcher, I even made a terminal file manager out of it. Great tool.

I didn’t know about the ** stuff. Cheers for that!

love the arch btw

Your videos are awesome! 👌

Thanks, Nerd

For those of us stuck with bash (eg from git for windows) and don't have the zsh history autocomplete, fzf integrates with bash history. So hit CTRL+R and you'll be able to fuzzily find past commands you run. Very handy for me.

I think people should only use fzf when you need multi selections or “fuzzy” search. When you know what you’re searching, it doesn’t make sense to use fzf, since it’s much faster to use fd, grep, glob, etc. It slow down your process and just add an interface that make u feel fast 😂

Great vid!

Wait, how did you know i was searching for this...

can you make a video on best cli development lang or framworks

unalias does not remove the alias from your .zshrc, it only removes it from the environment of the current session. When you open a new terminal or source your zshrc, the alias will be added again.

Really enjoy every video of yours, thanks nerd!!

Hello again 👋🏻 Where can I get that background wallpaper it's so calming 😸

Pretty cool

I've seen people use this but never knew what it was called. Thanks so much for the great video!

Using it with a preview is new to me. Thanks for the awesome tip!

So is it like Raycast or Alfred but for CLI? This is pretty cool!

I was very appriciated for your neovim video. I want to use ftp-sync in neovim like vscode(sftp or ftp-simple), but I couldn't find out how to set for it. Please help us!

I actually have to change my terminal to Alacritty at some point, since Warp does not support fzf at the moment

You can use nl instead cat to have the preview numbered

Quick tip for those who use fish shell ** will not work instead, just CTRL+T to get the same functionality you can find more information here github.com/junegunn/fzf?tab=readme-ov-file#fish-shell

How do you feel about oh-my-zsh? Adding fzf means I just add it to my plugins list, instead of a list of actions cluttering my .zshrc for fzf, nvm, whatever.

Instantly in love with how it works with shell history.

I'm still learning so feel free to flame but isn't yay used for the arch user repo? what is meant by calling it a front end for pacman then which is used for the Arch package repo? aren't they kind different tools to get packages from different places? (I do now yay is installed from pacman)

Are you using i3 in this video? If so, how did you get the bar at the top of the terminal?

Which keyboard are you using?

Thanks nerd!! One question: What if i dont wanna write the ** to completion, i just wanna press tab as always? how i can do this?

Come on nerd. You missed the fzf history search. Ctrl+r in bash, probably something similar in Zsh

This tool is almost as awesome as you

fzf is awesome, but the latest stable version for Ubuntu is missing some of those cool features. I hope that changes soon. Or I guess I could always swap to Arch :D

what terminal emulator do you use

which theme you are using??

bomb diggity ❤

4:39 - that means you didn't checkout broot yet :)

lmao i went to ask for this yesterday but i got distracted. now its here. OPRAH WAS RIGHT IM MANIFESTING

Someone tell me how to ignore specific files and folder while searching through fzf and how to add some specific files and folder to show in fzf , thanks

Can you upload setting up nix package manager, home manager and nix profile with flakes guide🙌🙌🙌🙌

Next one on yazi?? 👀

who needs all of that when you have `find`.

alao make sure to use fd instead of find (it's like 6 times faster). fzf will automatically prefer fd if you have it installed

Is it just me or did this video feel like it was going n 1.25x speed? Other than that, great vid :)

Preety cool

I swear I've seen a fzf video from this channel before?

You're the most efficient dev and RU-vid content creator I know! Keep it up man, you're awesome. 💪

Laptop go Brrr

Only if I had a penny for every time typecraft talked about fzf...

Why did u left arch ?

linux for newbs 4 when

kill multiple program?

0:41 🏳‍🌈The gay package manager

Day 4 of asking to make a video on how do you record and stream stuff on arch linux!

someone can just use locate?

OMG

kill -9 ** is an incredible tip

For me I probably prefer ranger.

Be careful using "cat" with huge files, it's not a pager!

0:34 it's not D-bien, it's Deb-Ian. It was created by Ian Murdock and named after his gf Debra (Deb for short, later ex-wife) and himself.

here's like #172 for pronouncing "Zee/Zed Shell correctly". It's not "zeesh". 👌

Those soydevs are missing out

couldnt get my ** to work dunno what that is about

tac is cat backwards.

I don't lose stuff often enough for fuzzy find to be useful.

@6:55, why would you go straight to a `kill -9` - don't teach people bad habits! Use a normal kill (SIGTERM) first and give the process a chance to exit gracefully before reaching for the nuclear option.

Who is learning Unix today?

fzf amazing but I thing fzy better than it

fzf is useless.. in the video it's nice and quick, but I have ~ 100 github projects on my m1 mac, it takes over a minute to search for a simple term (after it's indexed everything). Sure I have 54 million files in the index but so what.. it's not that many?

"by default it will search for all the files on your machine" no I don't think it does... at least I've never seen or heard of it doing that.

Deb-Ian not Dee-Bian

Fzf is great but nothing beats zoxide

every video i see of urs that one mf calls him nerd. i am getting irritated on his behalf
