Today I set myself a simple task, create a tool where I can find old commands. Primarily because I can never remember if it’s:

curl 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json

or

curl 'https://ipify.org/api?format=json

So I figured why not make a tool to not forget.

It’s written in rust(btw) and uses ratatui and clap.

The process is:

• Take input command
• Search bash / zsh history
• Search for any matches
• Allow for searching
• Upon selection, run the command :)

I’m sure I can use autocomplete, but I figured it’d be a nice opportunity to use ratatui.

My only critique of ratatui is having main branch examples not being the cargo version.It’s mildly annoying.

I’ve had this problem with esp-idf before, where I was using X.XX.B and the branch was X.XX.A. Skill issue I guess.

Anyway, it’s on the AUR/Cargo, you can install it via:

cargo install ifff

or

yay -S iff

Lastly, if you’re wondering what iff stands for, it’s “I fucking forgot”. Because.. I’m a child
