Terminal file manager

🦙 llama

Llama — a terminal file manager.

Why another file manager? I wanted something simple and minimalistic. Something to help me with faster navigation in the filesystem; a cd and ls replacement. So I build "llama". It allows for quick navigation with fuzzy searching. cd integration is quite simple. And you can open vim right from the llama. That's it. As simple and dumb as a llama.

Install

brew install llama

snap install llama

pkg_add llama

go install github.com/antonmedv/llama@latest

Or download prebuild binaries.

Put the next function into the .bashrc or a similar config:

Bash	Fish
function ll { cd "$(llama "$@")" }	function ll set loc (llama $argv); and cd $loc; end
PowerShell
function ll() { cd $(llama $args | Out-String -Stream | Select-Object -Last 1) } See issues/30 for more details.

Note: we need a such helper as the child process can't modify the working directory of the parent process.
