If anyone cares, I do something similar with my git aliases: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/.config/git/co... So, "ga" similarly gives a fuzzy finder of files to "git add" that are actually in git status, "gcp" lets me cherry pick one or more commits from a branch where both the branch and commits are picked with fzf, and so on.

Aliases are awesome, I use "git config --global alias.pwd 'symbolic-ref --short HEAD'" for easier management of branches. Instead of "git push -u origin really-long-branch-name", I can just do "git push $(git pwd)".

Here’s what I do for that (aliased to ‘p’): https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/d95653da5ab367b1e628b97537...

Guy works at bytedance (creators of TikTok, and notoriously known for making use of intrusive telemetry), hasn't released source code, hence I can't trust this application.

Isn’t it an irony that he open sourced his application yet you don’t trust him? Is it because he is from a Chinese origin, too closely flying around being a racist. By that logic we cant trust React, RocksDB and other libraries from Facebook, which has done equal or even more shady stuff.

I missed the fact that he released the source.
