About

This simple utility was built to be used with skim (or fzf). With the following Zsh function, it works as a fuzzy cd.

# cf - fuzzy cd
function cf() {
    local bin=`which exa`
    if ! [ -x $bin ]; then bin = ls; fi
    if [ "$1" != "" ]; then cd $1; fi
    local dir=`walker | rg -v "/\.|\.dSYM|\.xcodeproj|build|bin|ctc|^$" | sk`
    if [ "$dir" != "" ]; then cd $dir; fi
    # ls after cd, but only if there are less then 50 items in the directory
    if (( `ls | wc -l` < 50 )); then $bin --group-directories-first -x; fi
}

Using this utility is much faster for this than using find -type d. Directories are walked in parallel, and it works fast enough to be usable from my home directory.
