fzf:tldr:fc1f8
This command is composed of two parts: find ${path-to-directory} -type f
and fzf
.
The first part, find ${path-to-directory} -type f
, is a command using the find
utility. It searches for files (-type f
) in the specified directory (${path-to-directory}
) and its subdirectories. The find
command is often used to locate files based on various search criteria such as name, size, or modification time.
The second part, fzf
, is a command-line fuzzy finder. It provides an interactive way to quickly search and select files or lines from a list. When used in conjunction with the |
(pipe) symbol, it takes the output from the previous command (find ${path-to-directory} -type f
) and allows you to filter and select files from that list using fuzzy search.
In summary, the command find ${path-to-directory} -type f | fzf
searches for files in the specified directory and its subdirectories, then displays them using fzf
where you can interactively filter and select files based on a fuzzy search pattern.
