Fuzzy Finder in the Terminal - FZF

In this video I want to introduce you to an incredibly powerful tool for the terminal called "fzf" - The Terminal Fuzzy Finder, that you can use as a quick menu or a search tool in the command line.
As the video explains a fuzzy finder is essentially a search bar that updates results as your type more and fzf is an implementation of this for the terminal.

Link to the fzf Github page:
(Here you can find everything you need about fzf)...

The great thing about fzf is that you can pass it a "newline" separated list of anything and it will perform its magic on that list. So this works really well for piping the results of a command that returns many options into fzf for selecting a single option. (fzf can actually do multiple option selection, please see link above for more info on that).

In this video I demo the power of fzf by creating in one line a interactive git branch changer that lets you simply pick which branch to checkout. The code can be found in the gist below...

Fzf is a really really great tool for creating simple menus or for enabling a sort of search feature on any list that you can pipe into it. It is a must have tool for any Terminal user!

Also let me know what you think of the new video intro section... would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks for watching, please let me know if there is any other topics that you would like me to cover as I start to slowly add more content to this channel...
