About:
fzf is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder that filters lists or files based on user input. It provides a fast, interactive interface for selecting items from any input source. Its primary value is streamlining navigation and selection tasks in the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Fuzzy matching algorithm for fast, flexible searching
  • Seamless integration with shell commands and pipes
  • Vim and Emacs key bindings for efficient navigation
  • Extensible with preview windows and custom actions
Use Cases:
  • Searching and switching between git branches
  • Filtering command history to re-run previous commands
  • Selecting files for opening or processing in scripts
  • Interactively grepping through codebases
Alternatives:
  • peco – Similar interactive filtering tool written in Go; fzf is often faster and has broader platform support.
  • skim – A Rust-based, drop-in replacement for fzf with a similar feature set and command-line interface.
