  • fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • I really like fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf). Here's a pretty good explanation of why it's so awesome (https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/fzf-a-command-line-fuzzy-finder-missing-demo-a7de312403ff/). It has the added bonus of being able to use it from the command line. I just recently started using it, and it's been awesome.

  • vim-renamer

    Git repo for http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1721

  • Also, related to dired: vim-renamer lets you rename files kinda like dired by editing their names in a buffer and saving.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dotfiles

    Flake-based NixOS configuration used on Dell XPS laptop and Ryzen 7 desktop. (by dnordstrom)

  • Sure, it's in my dotfiles repo. Just don't judge it too harshly please, I'm no pro sysadmin. :p

  • fzf-tab

    Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf!

  • I use the fzf-tab plugin for Zsh which sets it all up. fzf then does paths, commands, subcommands (git or nix ), and flags, as well as branches for git checkout|switch , env variables with print $, and more. Super convenient, recommended!
