While Helm and Ag is useful for rapidly finding files when we know what we are looking for - however for exploring an unknown project and performing code review for changes across files, it is not the ideal solution. Helm-projectile facilitates integration of projectile and helm, here is a great introductory article on getting started with this combo.

EMACS PROJECTILE PORTABLE

For instance - finding project files has a portable implementation written in pure Emacs Lisp without the use of GNU find (but for performance sake an indexing mechanism backed by external commands exists as well). Its goal is to provide a nice set of features operating on a project level without introducing external dependencies(when feasible).

Projectile is a project interaction library for Emacs. Projectile is an amazing project management solution for solution. There is an ag-mode that integrates Ag with emacs and if you do use helm, there is a helm integration plugin as well. While grep is arguably the most popular tool for finding files containing specific content, tools like the Silver Searcher improve upon grep by providing specialized tools for searching codebases. We will not go into much depth into Helm, but the package is well documented and for getting started here is an excellent introductory article. Rather than being an isolated productivity tool, it improves our entire emacs experience through a powerful completion engine which may be different from the tab based completion pervasive in other editors/IDEs or Shell but once the habit sets in, it is difficult to go back. Helm has been described as a package in a league of its own. The great part is that it is entirely usable through keyboard. It is useful as a mini file manager though not as powerful as dired. It is useful as an easily accessible persistent sidebar that provides the complete outline of the project. Neotree is a more conventional file manager - similar to what we find in IDEs. Dired buffers can be bookmarked just like ordinary buffers and we can use bookmark-jump to quickly jump to important Dired buffers opened before.

I have found emacs bookmarks functionality to be particularly useful with Dired. helm-buffers-list which we discuss shortly).

While the facilities provided by Dired are powerful enough to replace the full fledged file manager of your operating system, the real power comes from native integration with the rest of emacs.įor instance, a Dired is buffer is just like a normal buffer, and all the dired buffers will be directly available from list-buffers - and from any alternative approaches to list buffers (eg. I sincerely regret not spending the time required to develop familiarity with Dired when I was initially learning basics of Emacs. While built into emacs, Dired is indespensable. This post outlines a few tools which aid in project exploration and navigation across files which I have found to be useful in practice Dired This is especially true when we are exploring unknown projects - in particular, projects with custom directory structures as opposed to CoC frameworks.
