lsgo is a tiny command-line directory traversal tool:

lsgo

It opens an inline picker. Directories are highlighted as navigable targets, files are muted context, and typing filters the directory targets. Press Tab to enter the highlighted directory, and press Enter to accept it. Arrow keys are also supported.

lsgo needs a shell function so it can change the current shell directory:

lsgo init

# zsh
source ~/.zshrc

# bash
source ~/.bashrc

lsgo init supports bash and zsh.
