D-rep is a shell tool written in D language, inspired by the power of grep. It offers a streamlined and interactive way to search, navigate, and explore your file system directly from the terminal 📁.
With D-rep's integrated command pipeline, you can search 👀, index, and act on files or directories—all from a single, user-friendly interface 💯.
Traditional tools like ls and cd require precise inputs—you need to know the exact filename or path. But what if you only remember part of it?
That’s where D-rep shines. It allows you to:
- Search using patterns (like
"JSON*") - View matching results
- Interactively choose files or directories
- Pipe results into other commands
The command pipeline is the heart of D-rep. It gives you a consistent and powerful approach to file navigation.
- Specify a command (e.g.,
ls,cat, or a custom action) - Provide a search pattern (e.g.,
"JSON*") - Pipe the results into another command or view them in an interactive menu
- Select the file or directory you were looking for without typing the full path
D-REP > ls "JSON*" | cdOutput:
> [D] ~/Desktop/Computer_Science/JSON-parser
[D] ~/Desktop/JSON-files
[F] ~/Documents/user_JSON.jsonIn this example:
-
ls"JSON*"searches the current directory for files/folders that match the pattern -
D-rep presents a list of matching results
-
You choose the desired path
-
The result is piped into cd and navigates to that directory
Sometimes, you can't recall the exact directory name—but you remember a keyword or pattern. D-rep bridges that gap.
Instead of guessing or manually searching:
-
Just enter a pattern
-
View the matches
