 # Similar Sort
 
-This is a small Go program that will:
+Hello!
+This project has moved to <https://git.bytes.zone/brian/similar-sort>.
 
-1. take a reference string as the first argument
-2. and a list of candidate strings in stdin
-3. and output the candidates sorted according to their edit distance from the reference, lowest first.
-
-"What use is this?" you may ask!
-Well!
-It turns out to be really useful to do fuzzy file finding a large project.
-
-When I am in some filesystem hierarchy and I trigger my fuzzy-finder, I want to see sibling files before I see similarly-named files further away.
-I also want to match on test files pretty easily.
-Say I have this project structure:
-
-```
-example
-└── src
-    ├── Main.elm
-    └── Page
-        └── Learn
-            └── Home
-                ├── Main.elm
-                └── View.elm
-```
-
-If I am in `src/Page/Learn/Home/View.elm` and I want to get to the sibling file `Main.elm`, the default `fzf` config shows me `src/Main.elm` first.
-That's not what I wanted!
-
-But if I sort the files instead by passing them through `similar-sort src/Page/Learn/Home/View.elm`, the sibling file will show up first.
-This works surprisingly well, and I really like it!
-
-It could probably perform a *little* better by doing some heuristic based on equivalent file structure except for the addition/removal of "tests", "specs", etc, but I haven't bothered yet.
-
-## Installing
-
-You can look in `dotfiles/kakoune.nix` in the root of this project to see how to use this in a home-manager context.
-If you're not using home-manager, or you just want to install it globally, `cd` here and type:
-
-```sh
-nix-env -if .
-```
-
-OR if you have `go` installed but not `nix`, just `go build similar-sort.go`; it has no external dependencies and will result in a static binary you can put wherever.
-
-### Adding to Vim
-
-Add this to your vim config:
-
-```vim
-nnoremap <silent> <C-t> :call fzf#run(fzf#wrap({
-  \ "source": "git ls-files --others --cached --exclude-standard \| similar-sort " . @% . " \| grep -v " . @%,
-  \ "sink": "edit",
-  \ "options": "--tiebreak index"
-  \ }))<CR>
-```
-
-(You'll need `fzf` and `fzf.vim` installed.)
-This will bind ctrl-t to the fuzzy finder.
-When you select a match, it will open in the current pane.
-
-If you want to split or vsplit, change `"sink": "edit"` to `"sink": "split"` or `"sink": "vsplit"`.
-See the docs for `fzf#run` for more customization options.
-
-### Adding to Kakoune
-
-I use [connect.kak](https://github.com/alexherbo2/connect.kak) to spawn a terminal window with about the same command line as in the vim config above.
+This file just exists to make sure people don't get lost when coming from my blog or other external links.
+Have a nice day!
