Getting the latest binary #
While fzf is available on all major package managers, they may provide an old
version of fzf. If that’s the case, you can download the latest binary from
the releases page and put it in
your $PATH.
Setting up shell integration #
fzf comes with shell integration scripts that set up useful key bindings and fuzzy completion so that fzf is still useful even if you’re not well versed in shell scripting.
- bash (~/.bashrc)
eval "$(fzf --bash)" - zsh (~/.zshrc)
source <(fzf --zsh) - fish (~/.config/fish/config.fish)
fzf --fish | source
