Television is a blazing-fast general-purpose fuzzy finder TUI. It is highly configurable and allows you to quickly search through all kinds of data sources, such as files, Git history, environment variables, etc.
Out of the box, the tv command has various built-in "channels" you can use:
tv list-channels Builtin channels: env files git-repos dirs text alias Custom channels: zsh-history git-diff fish-history s3-buckets git-branch bash-history docker-images my-dotfiles git-log git-reflog
Let's say you wanted to quickly find a git repository on your filesystem. You could use the git-repos channel to get a fuzzy search to all the git repos on your computer:
