#git tip of the day. Massive time saver.
Add this alias to your config:
`lg = log --format='%C(red)%ad %C(green)%h %C(blue)(%an): %Creset%s%C(Yellow)%d' --date=format:'%d-%m-%y'`
It’s basically `git log —oneline` + date and author and pretty colours.
Now you can combine it with #fzf to filter the commit history:
`$ git lg | fzf`
The only issue is that the results won’t be sorted chronologically, but it’s so much faster than stuff like #gitlens
Seriously, what did we do before #fzf?
I think I discovered it about 3 years ago, and it's found its way into so many of my scripts.
@hofmannedv Auf den #clt2026 machst du dann einen Vortrag zu Fuzzy Find mit #fzf in der Shell und #vim ? Wäre sehenswert
More tech notes to myself:
Integrating fzf with the bash shell
https://suburbanalities.blogspot.com/2025/03/integrating-fzf-with-bash-shell.html
Today I learned: you can use `bind -x` to make bash execute code whenever you type some key chord.
Example: get CTRL-o to fuzzy-find a file. (using #fzf 
)
```bash
bind -x '"\C-o": xdg-open $(fzf --height 50% --reverse)"
```
My *very* current setup is bit more than this, since I might want to jump
to a folder, and since my muscle memory is used to `C-x C-f` to
find-file under #emacs
```bash
bind -x '"\C-x\C-f": find_file "$(fzf --preview "bat --style=numbers --color=always --line-range :500 {}" --walker=file,dir,follow,hidden --height 50% --reverse)"'
find_file() {
echo
if [ -f $1 ];
then
echo "Opening "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 2)$1$(tput sgr0) && history -s xdg-open $1 && xdg-open "$1" && xdg-open "$1";
elif [ -d $1 ];
then
cd "$1" && echo "Now at "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 2)`pwd`$(tput sgr0);
fi
}
```
Telescope or fzf-lua?
Does anyone know how to configure fzf so at to let certain directories on external drives be part of the search? #linux #fzf
I use a lot of git worktrees in my workflow. Using #magit there's a quick way to navigate between worktrees "Z g".
In the terminal we can do something like:
```fish-shell
cd (git worktree list | choose 0 | fzf)
```
I do use zoxide, but that doesn't work for the first time we want to navigate to the new directory.
Please note, you'll need to install:
