What is elpa-find-file-in-project

elpa-find-file-in-project is:

This library provides methods for quickly finding any file in a project. It uses GNU Find by default, but can also use (the significantly faster) fd-find. Find-file-in-project supports the following candidate selection interfaces: Consult, Helm, Ido, Ivy, Selectrum, and the Emacs built-in ‘completing-read’.

By default, FFIP will search for files in a local Git, Subversion, or Mercurial repository. FFIP uses TRAMP to find files in remote repositories, and claims this is “flawlessly” supported.

Features:

  • Fast! Tested with projects that have 50,000+ files
  • Find’s behaviour can be tweaked using ffip-find-options
  • Smart! The keyword “helloWorld”, returns “HelloWorld.html”, “hello-world.css”, and “HelloWorld.js”.
  • Enhances diff-mode with more convenient patch-handling, including diff creation, application, finding the file associated with a given hunk, and jumping to the section relevant to that hunk
  • No configuration required. Find-file-in-project works out-of-the-box
  • Supports evil-mode, with additional configuration (see README)
