The command find ${path-to-directory} -type f | peco
is used to search for files within a specific directory and filter results using the peco
command.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
find
: This command is used to search for files and directories within a given location. -
${path-to-directory}
: This is the placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to search. You need to replace it with the appropriate path. -
-type f
: This option specifies that the search is for files only, not directories. It filters the results to include only regular files. -
|
: This symbol is called a pipe. It is used to redirect the output of a command to another command. In this case, it redirects the output of thefind
command to thepeco
command. -
peco
:peco
is a command-line tool used for interactive filtering. It takes the input from thefind
command and allows you to interactively select the desired file(s) using a filtering prompt.
So, essentially, the command find ${path-to-directory} -type f | peco
searches for files within a specific directory and then pipes the results to peco
for interactive filtering. This allows you to quickly select the desired files from the search results.
