Selecting Recipes to Run With an Interactive Chooser
The --choose
subcommand makes just
invoke a chooser to select which recipes to run. Choosers should read lines containing recipe names from standard input and print one or more of those names separated by spaces to standard output.
Because there is currently no way to run a recipe that requires arguments with --choose
, such recipes will not be given to the chooser. Private recipes and aliases are also skipped.
The chooser can be overridden with the --chooser
flag. If --chooser
is not given, then just
first checks if $JUST_CHOOSER
is set. If it isn’t, then the chooser defaults to fzf
, a popular fuzzy finder.
Arguments can be included in the chooser, i.e. fzf --exact
.
The chooser is invoked in the same way as recipe lines. For example, if the chooser is fzf
, it will be invoked with sh -cu 'fzf'
, and if the shell, or the shell arguments are overridden, the chooser invocation will respect those overrides.
If you’d like just
to default to selecting recipes with a chooser, you can use this as your default recipe:
default:
@just --choose
