Pretty modern terminal file manager

Description

Living in the terminal but tired of navigating with ls/cd and put off by ugly traditional TUI file managers? superfile makes terminal file management both good-looking and usable—a modern, genuinely pretty terminal file manager with multiple tabs and panels, live preview and all-keyboard operation. Even at a pitch-black command line you can copy, move and preview files as smoothly as in a GUI file manager.

Written in Go, a single binary runs in the terminal on Linux, macOS and Windows. Themes and keybindings are customizable, with fuzzy search, file preview, a trash can and other handy features. Anyone who likes keyboard-driven work and lives on servers or in terminals will find managing files has never felt this comfortable. Free and open source.
