MFB (minimal file browser) is a fzf powered bash app to quickly navigate through the filesystem. Initially planned as a rewrite of my python version, I extended it a bit after I discovered how cool fzf is.
git clone https://github.com/rohm1/mfb-fzf.git
echo "source /path/to/mfb-fzf/mfb.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
and use the mfb command.

| -c | MFB_LS_COMMAND | provide an alternative ls command, i.e. gls on MacOS |
| -l | MFB_LS_OPTIONS | changes options for ls |
| -i | MFB_LINE_INDEX | if you change MFB_LS_OPTIONS you'll need to change it accordingly |

| -p | MFB_SHOW_PREVIEW | set it to 0 to disable preview |
Env vars will be evaluated first, and then the CLI args, thus CLI args override env vars.
