Readme

spot(1)

Tiny ack-style file search utility.

Features

Short & written in Bash: you can edit it easily to suit your liking.
Fast. Just find + grep + awk.
Searches most things by default instead of some known predefined extensions.
Ignores .git, .hg, .svn, devices and binary files.

Usage

Smart phrases

All arguments constitute the search text. No need to wrap most searches in double quotes.

Smart case

spot is case-insensitive by default. However, if your search term contains an uppercase letter, it becomes sensitive!

Smart targets

If the first argument contains a slash and is a valid directory, the search is constrained to that particular target.

Wildcard matching

In spot(1) searches, the . character acts as the RegExp wildcard, making it very easy to perform searches that match anything, and to avoid escaping characters or including ones that are not necessary for your search.

Line abbreviation

If the line where matches are found is too long (such as minified source files), spot(1) will only display the surrounding characters.

Options

spot -h to see them.

Installation

If you have NPM:

$ npm install -g spot

Or if you have bpkg

$ bpkg install -g spot

You're done! Otherwise, run this command:

curl -L https://raw.github.com/rauchg/spot/master/spot.sh -o ~/bin/spot && chmod +x ~/bin/spot

If you don't have ~/bin, replace it with another directory in your $PATH, like /usr/local/bin.
