fzf VS zsh-autocomplete

fzf : https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.

"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.

"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

You can also use fzf with ripgrep to great effect:

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git" $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autocomplete

Not up to the mark with https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete which works contextually.

I found it: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

If you're using zsh, you can use zsh-autocomplete plugin. Super easy to use. zsh-autocomplete github

save yourself time and use autosuggestions/autocompletions fish shell does it by default, zsh needs a plugin https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete (this one has a video showcasing it)

Yeah second this ^ its exactly what OP is asking for. Combine with auto-complete plugin and you can find any command youve typed before easily
