my-commands

handy commands chooser with fzf or mapfile+select

fzf needs to be installed separately.

install

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/drgomulka/my-commands.git ~/.dotfiles/my-commands
~/.dotfiles/my-commands/install_aliases.sh

what does this do

Install script adds two aliases to your aliases file:

• my-commands-fzf
• my-commands-list

my-commands-fzf

The idea here is to use fzf to choose a command from a prepared list of commands and to run it. All that is needed is: fzf installed, one alias and one text file with the list of commands.

my-commands-list

When no fzf is installed, the mapfile alternative can be used. It uses mapfile -t items to read the commands_list.txt file. Then it uses the bash select ITEM in [LIST] construct to do the selection of your favourite commands. Select by entering the number from the list.
