fzf:tldr:b0e6e
The command you provided is using the fzf
tool with a specific query. Here's how you can break it down:
fzf
is a command-line fuzzy finder tool used for filtering and selecting files or paths interactively. It provides a convenient way to explore through search results efficiently.
The --query
option is used to specify the initial search pattern. In your example, the query is '!pyc 'travis"
. Let's break it down further:
-
'!pyc'
is a negation pattern. It instructsfzf
to exclude any results that include the string "pyc". So, any file or path containing "pyc" will not be shown in the search results. -
'travis"
is the pattern that follows the negation. It specifies the search term or filter. In this case, it will return results that include the string "travis". The single quotation marks around "travis" indicate that it is the search term.
To summarize, the command fzf --query "!pyc 'travis"
is telling fzf
to initiate with a search query that filters out any results containing "pyc" and shows results matching "travis".
