xplr
A hackable, minimal, fast terminal UI file explorer that orchestrates command-line utilities.
What is xplr?
xplr is a terminal user interface (TUI) file explorer built for developers and power users who work extensively in the terminal. It provides a fast, minimal, and highly customizable environment for navigating and managing files, integrating with existing command-line utilities to streamline workflows. Unlike traditional GUI file managers, xplr focuses on keyboard control and scriptability, acting as an orchestrator for file-system operations.
Terminal power users, system administrators, and developers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and want to enhance their file management efficiency within the terminal. It's ideal for those who already use command-line tools and seek a customizable interface to unify them.
Developers choose xplr for its hackable nature via Lua configuration, allowing deep customization and plugin integration. Its minimal design and focus on speed make it a lightweight yet powerful alternative to bulkier file managers, while its philosophy of integrating rather than replacing tools ensures compatibility with existing workflows.
