bat VS fzf

I page man (and many other things) through bat[0] which improves my experience.

my cat replacement (bat), shows the changed lines

Have you heard of the command-line tool bat, written in Rust? bat is a command-line tool similar to cat that displays file contents in the terminal, but with additional features like line numbering, syntax highlighting, and paging.

Perhaps interesting (for some) to note that hyperfine is from the same author as at least a few other "ne{w,xt} generation" command line tools (that could maybe be seen as part of "rewrite it in Rust", but I don't want to paint the author with a brush they disagree with!!): fd (find alternative; https://github.com/sharkdp/fd), bat ("supercharged version of the cat command"; https://github.com/sharkdp/bat), and hexyl (hex viewer; https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl). (And certainly others I've missed!)

Pointing this out because I myself appreciate comments that do this.

For myself, `fd` is the one most incorporated into my own "toolbox" -- used it this morning prior to seeing this thread on hyperfine! So, thanks for all that, sharkdp if you're reading!

Ok, end OT-ness.

i like bat, but they also link over to delta :D

Install "fzf" [0] and set it up to be used with control+r, there's no going back. You get as a bonus the chance to use fzf in a lot of other places :)

I guess that more advance tool would be "atuin" [1], but it is too much for my use case.

FZF is a command line fuzzy finder. It's an incredibly powerful tool that you can use (at its simplest) to filter lists as you type.

fzf

FZF (Fuzzy finder) is a command-line application that allows you to turn any list into an interactive menu with support for awesome fuzzy search, which you can read more about here.

So you'll need fzf installed for this example to do anything interesting.

Combining this with fzf, you can have a nice quick shortcut to quickly pick a server to connect to into.

fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) is really great. Very useful for providing a quick and easy user interface. For example, I use it to fuzzy find inside git branches to have an "improved checkout". I do that since at work branches are usually named "-", it's faster to search for the issue number.

The fzf repo has a guide/example code for ripgrep integration that works pretty well.
