percol
An interactive grep tool that adds interactive selection to UNIX pipes, allowing you to filter and select from command output.
What is percol?
Percol is an interactive grep tool for the terminal that enhances UNIX pipelines by allowing users to filter and select lines from command output interactively. It reads from stdin or a file, presents a filterable list, and outputs the selected lines, solving the problem of static, non-interactive command chaining.
Developers and system administrators who work extensively in the terminal and want to add interactive selection to their shell workflows, particularly those using zsh or tmux.
Percol stands out by blending the simplicity of UNIX pipes with interactive filtering, offering extensive customization and support for advanced matching methods like Migemo and Pinyin, which are rare in similar tools.
