Setup

  1. Clone this repo to ~/.config/lf
  2. run make install. This installs the lf wrapper-script lfrun into $PATH.
  3. Copy the following function to your .bashrc/.zshrc:
function lfcd {
    tmp="$(mktemp)"
    lfrun -last-dir-path="$tmp" "$@"
    if [ -f "$tmp" ]; then
        dir="$(cat "$tmp")"
        rm -f "$tmp"
        if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
            if [ "$dir" != "$(pwd)" ]; then
                cd "$dir"
            fi
        fi
    fi
}

Uninstall

Run make uninstall to remove lfrun from $PATH.
