Using it for shell scripting

Let's say you want to write a bash script that, among other things, asks the user to write the name of a git branch that should be checked out.

If you already have the cheatsheet above, then you could write the following in your script:

navi --query "change branch" --best-match

navi will ask the user to fill all arguments needed.

If you want to set the <branch> beforehand in your script, you could then write:

branch="master" navi --query "change branch" --best-match
