nnn
n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager
INSTALLATION
$ sudo apt install nnn$ brew install nnnDESCRIPTION
nnn (n³) is a full-featured terminal file manager. It's tiny, nearly 0-config and incredibly fast. It is designed to be unobtrusive with smart workflows to match the trains of thought. nnn can analyze disk usage, batch rename, launch apps and pick files. The plugin repository has tons of plugins to extend the capabilities further e.g. live previews, (un)mount disks, find & list, file/dir diff, upload files. A patch framework hosts sizable user-submitted patches which are subjective in nature. Independent (neo)vim plugins - nnn.vim, vim-floaterm nnn wrapper and nnn.nvim (neovim exclusive).
