bet — Keep your house in order.

Agentic coding tools have made spinning up a new project almost too easy. Mostly. The side effect is that you now have more projects than you can keep track of.

Your ~/code folder has 300 folders. Half of them are experiments from last Tuesday. You don't remember what most of them are called or where they live.

bet is a lightweight project index for your machine. Point it at your project roots, let it scan, and you get a fast searchable registry of every local project you own. Find anything in milliseconds.

Run bet update --roots ~/code,~/work once. bet detects real projects by looking for .git or README.md, ignores all the noise, and writes a clean index. From there, bet search, bet info, and bet go are all you need.

The name comes from 𐤁 (bet), the Phoenician letter for "house." Every project is a house. bet builds the registry.

What you get:

• Fuzzy search across all your projects, instantly

• bet go <slug> that actually cds your shell, not just prints the path

• Tab completion for project names

• --json output for piping into jq and building custom workflows

• Auto re-indexing via cron so the index stays fresh without thinking about it
