tag is a command line tool for manipulating macOS Finder tags on files and querying for files by their tags. It leverages the file system's built-in metadata search to rapidly find all files tagged with a given set of tags.
Use cases
- add finder tags to files from the terminal
- find all files tagged with a specific tag
- remove or replace tags on files via script
- list tags on a file
- batch-tag files recursively in directories
- pipe tagged file lists to xargs
When to choose
- you want to script or automate macOS file tagging
- you need fast tag-based file search from the command line
- you prefer Finder tags over folder-based organization
When to avoid
- you are not on macOS 10.9 or later
- you need a GUI for tag management
- you need cross-platform file tagging
