CD to repo using fzf (fuzzy search)

repos.md

I use this little function on the command line to allow me to switch between different repositories easily using fzf

Prerequisits

• fzf
• zsh or bash

Installation

FZF

If you don't already have fzf installed you can install it via Homebrew:

brew install fzf

Add function to zsh or bash config

Depending on if you're using bash or zsh as your shell, you can add the following code to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc

function repo {
    filter_params=""
    if [ -n "$1" ]; then
        filter_params="-q $1"
    fi
    repo_path=$(find ~/code -name .git -type d -prune -maxdepth 5 | sed 's/\/.git$//' | sort | fzf $filter_params --select-1)
    cd $repo_path
}

You will need to replace the ~/code bit on the $repo_path line with the directory where you keep all of your code.

Save the file, then reload your shell using either bash or zsh.

Usage

Command	Example	Description
repo		Display all git repositories
repo {query}	repo kiosk	Display all git repositories matching query. If only 1 result matches query, it'll select that result automatically

Demo

How about escape or unselect for exit?

The next line fixes that

find $root_dir -maxdepth 5 -name .git -type d -prune | sed 's/\/.git$//' | sort | fzf $filter_params --select-1 | read  repo_path
