About:
Pick is a command-line utility that presents a filtered list of choices for user selection via a fuzzy search interface. It reads from standard input and outputs the selected item to standard output, making it ideal for scripting and automation. Its main value proposition is providing a lightweight, terminal-native alternative to graphical dialogs.
Key Features:
  • Fuzzy search filtering for quick selection
  • Reads from stdin and writes selection to stdout
  • Minimal dependencies and small footprint
  • Customizable keybindings and UI colors
Use Cases:
  • Selecting a git branch or commit in shell scripts
  • Filtering process lists for targeted operations
  • Choosing files or options in interactive automation
Alternatives:
  • fzf – fzf provides richer features and preview capabilities but is larger and more complex
  • dialog – dialog offers full TUI widgets but requires terminal capabilities and is heavier
