You can pay for free software, but you don't need to.

ohmyzsh: https://opencollective.com/ohmyzsh

nvim: https://neovim.io/ supports donations via bitcoin, Open Collective, and GitHub Sponsors.

fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf supports donation via GitHub Sponsors, PayPal, and buy me a coffee.
So you've installed `fzf` – now what? | Mar 2023
> it's really not maintained

What do you mean by maintained? There are commits as recent as yesterday on the project: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Add fzf to get fuzzy search for your history. I reuse long complicated commands all the time by pressing Ctrl+R and then typing the first letters of a few words I remember using.

It's also useful to remove duplicate commands and store infinite history. Add this to ~/.bashrc:

  export HISTFILESIZE=
  export HISTSIZE=
  export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

nvALT 2 (2021) | Nov 2022
For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

If you use Ctrl-R a lot (and even if you don't), I recommend trying out https://github.com/junegunn/fzf, makes it a lot easier to use for me.
Software I’m Thankful For | Sep 2022
Outside of OS & text editor (vim), there is one tool that I use countless times every, single, day:

fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)

I can only wonder how much time fzf has saved me in the long term.

In terms of "software that I don't use for writing software", iA Writer is probably what I am most grateful for.

Indeed!

If you're using the fzf.vim plugin[0] you can run `:Commits` to do something similar to your command too. It adds a bit more detail such as when the commit was made in relative format and color codes the git diff.
