Project Tagger 🚀

A lightweight CLI tool that simplifies project organization through a tag-based system. Create and manage project tags to efficiently categorize your projects.

How It Works 🔍

Project Tagger creates .project.tag files in a hidden .tags directory within your project root. These .project.tag files act as searchable markers, making it easier to find and filter projects across your filesystem using tools like fzf or Everything.

Example

If you add react.project.tag to a React project, you can later search for react.project.tag to quickly locate all your React projects.

Installation 📦

npm install -g project-tagger
