sk: Start skim on all files in the specified directory.
$ find ${path-to-directory} -type f | sk
try on your machine

This command is used to search for files in a specific directory and display them using the "sk" command. Here is the breakdown:

  1. find: This command is used to search for files and directories within a directory hierarchy.
  2. ${path-to-directory}: This is the placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to search in. You need to replace it with the actual path.
  3. -type f: This is an option for the find command to only search for files and not directories.
  4. |: This is a pipe symbol, which is used to redirect the output of the preceding command as input to the following command.
  5. sk: This is a command that is used to display the search results in an interactive way, allowing you to select files from the search results.

So, by running this command, you will search for files in the specified directory and then the "sk" command will display the search results, allowing you to interactively select files from the list.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
