Find All Tool Version Files Containing Postgres
I've been using asdf for many years now which means I
have projects and directories all over my machine with .tool-versions files.
Many of them specify Ruby and Node versions. Some of them also include
PostgreSQL versions. I used to use asdf to manage Postgres versions, but no
longer do that for new or active projects.
I want to find all the places that a .tool-versions file declares postgres
as a tool. That way I can begin to clean up the left behind artifacts of
asdf-managed Postgres.
By combining fd (a better find) and
rg (a better grep), I'm able to
quickly track down the list of places.
$ fd --hidden .tool-versions ~/ | xargs rg postgres
/Users/jbranchaud/.local/state/nvim/undo/%Users%jbranchaud%.tool-versions: binary file matches (found "\0" byte around offset 9)
/Users/jbranchaud/code/fake-data/.tool-versions
2:postgres 13.1
/Users/jbranchaud/code/thirty_days/thirty_days_server/.tool-versions
1:postgres 13.1
/Users/jbranchaud/code/visualmode/.tool-versions
1:postgres 11.11
That first instance is a binary file as part of nvim's undo history which I
can ignore. The other three are good results.
I tell the fd command to not exclude hidden files as it looks for all
occurrences of .tool-versions recursively from my home (~/) directory. I
then pipe that list of files to xargs which makes those filenames arguments
to the rg postgres command.
