Sometimes typing out `awk '{print $1}'` just takes too long. Today I decovered [choose](https://github.com/theryangeary/choose?tab=readme-ov-file).
|
|
It makes selecting a field from an output much faster.
|
|
|
|
Now instead of:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ gss | rg awk | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs hx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ gss | rg awk | choose 1 | xargs hx
|
|
```
