This project might solve the problem I have been having for a long time but falls short. My usecase is that I have a directory with log files in multiple subdirectories. I would like to explore these logs by pointing logdy at this directory. Is this possible somehow?


That depends on the constraints you have. Currently you can start a tail on multiple files if you don't need to distinguish the filenames in Logdy

- $ logdy stdin 'tail -f file1.log file2.log' this use case is described here [1].

Logdy currently works best with tailing, however exploring big files is not supported well as Logdy will stream the whole content if used like $ logdy stdin 'cat bigfile.log'. I'm planning to introduce another mode [2] that will work more like a 'less' command.
