Chooser

This is an interactive selector.

Build executable

Make sure Xcode is installed first.

make

And then, You can find executable binary chooser in .build/debug directory.
I recommend you to copy the binary into $HOME/bin directory.

How to use

For example, if you need to open a file interactively using the cat command, you can use the sample code below.

ls | .build/arm64-apple-macosx/debug/chooser | xargs cat

And then you can select a file interactively.

> (o) LICENSE
  ( ) Makefile
  ( ) Package.resolved
  ( ) Package.swift
  ( ) README.md
  ( ) Sources
  ( ) Tests
