A CLI tool to search files and folder through a computer and open it (currently only in vs code) This is a simple hobby project made by me to gain some experience in working with rust.
I felt exhaused by navigating and searching through folders and files in my computer.

clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/anudeep652/open-this.git

cd open-this

cargo run FILE_OR_FOLDER_NAME [options]


OPTIONS:
    -app [software_name]    Open the file/folder in the specified software

    software_name:
        code - Visual Studio Code

Remember to replace FILE_OR_FOLDER_NAME with the file or folder you want to open and if we dont specify the options, it will open the file/folder in default software launcher.

cargo install --path .

Now you can run anywhere in your terminal like this:

open-this FILE_OR_FOLDER_NAME [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -app [software_name]    Open the file/folder in the specified software

    software_name:
        code - Visual Studio Code

• Add support for opening the file/folder in desired editor
• Make codebase more readable
• Add better error handling
• get username of OS
• Multiple OS support
• Search indication
• Searching files concurrently
