Fuzzy Explorer is your ultimate terminal companion for navigating logs, configurations, Kafka topics, and more.
If there is one tool I would recommend to every sysadmin, DevOps engineer, or anyone who lives in a terminal, it's fzf. I use it for nearly everything: searching and taking action on the results. Here are some examples of what you can do:
- Search with
brew searchthen install withbrew install - Find processes with
ps -ef | grepthen terminal withkill - Open a recent Jira issue in your web browser
- Launch your project in your favorite editor
- Copy a password from KeepassXC to the clipboard
- Retrieve secrets from Vault
- Query Kafka topics
- Quickly view Sentry issues
- Tail logs using lnav
- ...
However, there are situations where you might want it to stay open after making selection, such as when commands take time to generate a list of options:
Fuzzy Explorer solves this problem by keeping the tree open, allowing you to seamlessly explorer and act on hierarchical data.
brew install quantonganh/tap/fe
go install github.com/quantonganh/fe@latest
First, create a configuration file to define your exploration hierarchy:
terminal: wezterm
root:
name: envs
children:
- name: local
children:
- name: godoc
children:
- command: >
go list std
children:
- command: go doc -short $current | grep '^[ ]*func' | sed -E 's/^[ ]*func ([^[(]+).*/\1/'
children:
- finalCommand: go doc $parent.$current | lessRun the program with your configuration:
fe -c /path/to/config.yamlNavigate through the selection using vim-like key bindings.
Press / to search using fzf.
With Fuzzy Explorer, you can quickly navigate complex data structure, perform contextual actions, and stay in control of your workflow.
