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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for fzf-make.
