history

Project history and usage

fzf-make is a Rust command-line tool for choosing and running project commands through a fuzzy-finder interface with a preview window. Its README currently describes support for make targets, npm, pnpm, and yarn scripts, just recipes, and Task tasks.

Project history

The repository was created in March 2023, and GitHub Releases show v0.1.0 published a few days later. The README presents the tool as a command runner rather than a build system: it discovers commands from existing project files and provides a terminal UI for selection, history, and repeat execution.

Adoption history

The official README documents installation through Homebrew, Arch AUR, Nix, Cargo, and pre-built Linux binaries. That distribution mix is typical for small Rust CLIs: crates.io for language-native installation, Homebrew for macOS/Linux users, Nix for reproducible environments, and release tarballs for direct binary use.

How it is used

Users run `fzf-make` in a project directory, select a discovered command, and execute it. The README documents a repeat mode, a history-focused launch mode, shell aliases, and detection rules for Makefiles, npm package locks, pnpm lockfiles, yarn locks, justfiles, and Taskfile output.

Why package nerds care

fzf-make is notable as glue tooling for the fragmented task-runner ecosystem. Instead of replacing make, npm scripts, pnpm, yarn, just, or Task, it packages a single interactive selector over all of them, which is exactly the kind of convenience CLI that spreads through Homebrew, Cargo, and Nix.

Timeline

  • 2023: GitHub repository created.
  • 2023: Release v0.1.0 published.
  • 2025: Release v0.65.0 published after expanding through many 0.x releases.
  • 2026: Release v0.69.0 published.

Related projects

  • The README names make, npm, pnpm, yarn, just, and Task as supported command runners. It also identifies Rust and Ratatui in project badges, which places fzf-make in the Rust terminal-UI tooling ecosystem.

  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Build metadata lists 1 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
