# Description
|
|
|
|
[Projectile](https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile) has native support for using [ivy](https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper) as its completion system. Counsel-projectile provides further ivy integration into projectile by taking advantage of ivy's mechanism to select from a list of actions and/or apply an action without leaving the comlpetion session. It is inspired by [helm-projectile](https://github.com/bbatsov/helm-projectile).

# Installation
|
|
|
|
Install the package from [MELPA](https://melpa.org) or [el-get](https://github.com/dimitri/el-get), or clone this repository somewhere in your load path.
|
|
|
|
# Basic setup
|
|
|
|
You can use counsel-projectile (and in particular call the command `counsel-projectile` described below with <kbd>C-c p SPC</kbd>) without setting up anything. If you want counsel-projectile to install replacements for some standard projectile commands (see below again), add the following to your init file:
|
|
|
|
(counsel-projectile-on)
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
The main command is `counsel-projectile`, and can be called with <kbd>C-c p SPC</kbd> (assuming the variable `projectile-keymap-prefix` has been left at its default value, <kbd>C-c p</kbd>). This command behaves differently depending on whether you call it from inside a project or not:
|
|
- If you are not inside a project, it calls the function `counsel-projectile-switch-project`. This uses ivy to display a list of all known projects and let you select a project to switch to. You can choose from a number of actions to be applied upon switching (using <kbd>M-o</kbd> or <kbd>C-M-o</kbd>, as usual with ivy).
|
|
- If you are inside a project, it calls the function `counsel-projectile-find-file-or-buffer` instead. This uses ivy to display a list of all project buffers and files. The project buffers are fontified, and the project files that are not currently open are shown as "virtual buffers" with a different font (as in the function `ivy-switch-buffer`). You can choose to visit the selected file / display the selected buffer in the current or another window. If you would rather switch to a different project, you can so with <kbd>M-SPC</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
Counsel-projectile also provides replacements for several standard projectile commands, which take advantage of ivy to let you choose from several actions. To install these replacements, call the command `counsel-projectile-on`. Here are the currently defined replacements, with their default key-bindings:
|
|
- <kbd>C-c p f</kbd> `counsel-projectile-find-file`: find a project file,
|
|
- <kbd>C-c p d</kbd> `counsel-projectile-find-dir`: find a project directory,
|
|
- <kbd>C-c p b</kbd> `counsel-projectile-switch-to-buffer`: switch to a project buffer,
|
|
- <kbd>C-c p p</kbd> `counsel-projectile-switch-project`: switch to another project (see above).
|
|
|
|
If your default action for switching to a project (stored in the variable `projectile-switch-project-action`) is `projectile-find-file` (the default), then `counsel-projectile-on` also replaces it with `counsel-projectile-find-file-or-buffer` (see above).
|
|
|
|
You can call the command `counsel-projectile-off` to undo all changes made by `counsel-projectile-on`.
