organize VS fzf

Organize - https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize - might help..

As you've already found, Organize is pretty great. I don't have it running on any of my servers, but I've used it on multiple client systems before with great success. I'd highly recommend it.

I use Organize for housekeeping of files.

Check out DuckieTV (or something similar, duckie is just the one I like) and Organize (just to automatically organize from the download folder to your library)

On Mac there is (was?) Hazel, the closest thing on Linux is tfeldmann/organize: The file management automation tool., it uses Python. An alternative would be benjaminoakes/maid: Be lazy. Let Maid clean up after you, based on rules you define. Think of it as "Hazel for hackers"., but it uses Ruby, which I don't know.

Organize is very good, it's written in modern python, and easy to use, but Hazel is still easier. Maid has arguably a better name, but is written in ruby, which I'm not proficient in.

I am trying to use organize but, for some reason, when I try to move all files with given extension to a specific folder, it ends up renaming the files? Here's the config.yaml:

My suggestion? Try some of those programs and see what works best for you. Actually, another suggestion: if you are a home user and not managing complex systems, you could simply create some scripts to keep things organized, take a look here: https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize it's just an example, there are hundreds of projects like that, you could use them or get some ideas to create your own tools. We all have different needs after all.

Something like: https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize ?

In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

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].

[2]: https://docs.atuin.sh/configuration/config/#fuzzy-search-syn...

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:
