Fuzzy New File (fnf)

CLI to create file/folder with fuzzy-file matching autocomplete.

The CLI will provide a list of searchable subdirectories of the current working directory for you to choose where you want to create nested folders/files.

Installation

Note: The CLI requires Node v10 or above.

npm install -g fuzzy-new-file

Tips: If you are planning to use the CLI in a directory with a lot of subdirectories, to improve the performance significantly, I recommend installing https://github.com/sharkdp/fd then use --search-engine fd when running the CLI.
