Example:
printf "%s\n%s\n%s\n" alpha bravo charlie > example.txt
cat example.txt | checklineYou should see each line with a checkbox and text:
[ ] alpha
[ ] bravo
[ ] charlieMove up and down in the list by typing arrow keys.
Check or uncheck any checkbox by typing space or return, such as:
[x] alpha
[ ] bravo
[x] charlieCheck each line that you want, then type ESC to finish.
The command outputs each line that you checked:
alpha
charlieInstall checkline as a typical Rust crate:
cargo install checklineIf people want other ways, such as with package managers, we welcome help to create these ways.
The purpose of this command is a simple picker, that is easy to use, and that work wells in on the command line such as within a pipe.
The purpose isn't intended to handle very long lines, or very long inputs.
