e 🏃

e is a tool let's you find and edit recently used files quickly.

It works by maintaining an index of file access information and computing best matches for a given query.

Matches are ranked based on frecency, meaning that we use information about the files total access count in addition to how long ago it was last accessed.

For more information about exactly how this works, check out the algorithm.

Usage

Interacting with e is as simple as passing it a file to access:

Usage:
  e [flags]

Flags:
      --editor string   Command to use for editing files
  -h, --help            help for e

Direct matches will get accessed immediately, otherwise you have a few options:

• Specify no flags for a frecency-based match
• Add the --interactive flag to fuzzy search through matches

Prior Art

e was inspired by the well-known command-line tool zoxide, a directory-based access by frecency utility.
