Walk — a terminal navigator.
Why another terminal navigator? I wanted something simple and minimalistic.
Something to help me with faster navigation in the filesystem; a cd
and ls
replacement. So I build walk. It allows for quick navigation with fuzzy
searching, cd
integration is quite simple. And you can open vim
right from
the walk. That's it.
brew install walk
pkg_add walk
go install github.com/antonmedv/walk@latest
Or download prebuild binaries.
Put the next function into the .bashrc or a similar config:
Bash/Zsh | Fish | PowerShell |
---|---|---|
function lk {
cd "$(walk "$@")"
} |
function lk
set loc (walk $argv); and cd $loc;
end |
function lk() {
cd $(walk $args)
} |
Now use lk
command to start walking.
