# Pick

Pick is a command line tool for selecting from multiple options. It takes items

on standard input or from a file, and interactively prompts you to choose one

or more of them.

## Installation

```sh

gem install pick

```

## Examples

```sh

# select a file

ls | pick

# edit a file under the current directory tree

vim $(find . -type f | pick)

# edit multiple files under the current directory tree

vim $(find . -type f | pick -m)

# check out a branch interactively

git branch -a | pick | xargs git checkout

# delete a file, safe even when filenames contain newlines

find . -type f -print0 | pick -0 | xargs -0 rm -v

# delete many files

find . -type f -print0 | pick -0 -m | xargs -0 rm -v

# choose a color from colors.txt

pick colors.txt

```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bundle install` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can use `pry -r ./lib/pick` to get an interactive shell.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
