fsac

Lightning fast fuzzy search utility for the terminal, the result of which can be easily provided as an argument to a custom command. This repo is intended to contain a collection of applications that make use of fsac.

How to install an fsac program

Make sure you have Go installed.

Option 1: git clone this repo and from the project's root directory:

$ make compile_dirsearch dest=path/to/my/bin.

Make sure that the executable is in your $PATH.

Option 2: Make sure you $GOPATH is set, then run:

$ go get github.com/solidiquis/fsac/cmd/dirf

Wish to contribute by making an fsac program?

Again, this repo will contain a collection of programs which can be compiled independently. Here are the steps to follow if you wish to contribute:

1. Make a new directory in cmd/ named after your program.
2. Make your program and give it a short catchy name, kind of like grep and how it's short for global regular expression print.
3. Add something like this to the top of your main.go:

// Installation:
// go get github.com/solidiquis/fsac/cmd/dirf

// Name:
// dirf -> (dir)ectory (f)ind

// Utility:
// Searches through directory tree from working directory and
// copies selection to clipboard.

4. Add three new targets to the makefile, using dirf as a template: run, debug, & compile.
