A git repositories finder on `fzf`

I use this little function (repo) 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

or check another options fzf#installation.

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=""
    root_dir=$USER_ROOT

    if [ -n "$1" ]; then
        filter_params="-q $1"
    fi

    find $root_dir -maxdepth 5 -name .git -type d -prune | sed 's/\/.git$//' | sort | fzf $filter_params --select-1 | read  repo_path
    
    if [ -n "$repo_path" ]; then
        echo $repo_path
        cd $repo_path
    fi
}

You will need to replace the $USER_ROOT bit on the $repo_path line with the directory where you keep all of your code. As for me it's /drive/userfiles
You can open the dir via your faforite IDE. Change cd $repo_path to vim $repo_path or code $repo_path
To undo the action of the selected path press [ESC] or [CTRL]+[D] or type :q

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
