🥾 walk

Walk — a terminal navigator.

Why another terminal navigator? I wanted something simple and minimalistic. Something to help me with faster navigation in the filesystem; a cd and ls replacement. So I build walk. It allows for quick navigation with fuzzy searching, cd integration is quite simple. And you can open vim right from the walk. That's it.

Install

brew install walk

pkg_add walk

go install github.com/antonmedv/walk@latest

Or download prebuild binaries.

Put the next function into the .bashrc or a similar config:

<table> <tr> <th> Bash/Zsh </th> <th> Fish </th> <th> PowerShell </th> </tr> <tr> <td>

function lk {
  cd "$(walk "$@")"
}

</td> <td>

function lk
  set loc (walk $argv); and cd $loc;
end

</td> <td>

function lk() {
  cd $(walk $args)
}

</td> </tr> </table>

Now use lk command to start walking.
