nd-cli

Have you ever found yourself constantly doing ls cd ls cd ls cd? Well have I got a solution for you!

Rather than using something like cd $(fzf) where you have to manually search for the directory, this tool works off of numbering and progressively revealing layers of directories.

Path: /current/working/dir
Commands: [1..3] select, [b] back, [q] quit

┃ 1. src
┃ 2. docs
┃ 3. target
