nik

nik

nik - cd using subsequence matching and frecency. Powered by golang and sqlite.

This program is essentially the same as autojump, z, and fasd. It was created to help me learn golang.

Warning

The testing and error handling is severely lacking.

Installation

Installation is done in 2 steps, installing the golang binary and then shell helper.

golang binary

First install golang following the instructions here: https://golang.org/doc/install. Next install nik:

go get github.com/kevinywlui/nik

Shell helper

Now we need to source the nik.zsh file. Add the following somewhere in your ~/.zshrc

source `go env GOPATH`/src/github.com/kevinywlui/nik/nik.zsh

Usage

The basic usage is executing

j bar

which will try to cd into a path, /pre/.../fix/dir, so that dir is a subsequence of bar. Alternatively, executing

j foo bar

will try to cd into a path, /pre/.../fix/dir, so that bar is a subsequence of dir and foo is a subsequence of /pre/.../fix/.

Alternatively, run nik help to see the possibilities with the nik command.
