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

go install github.com/antonmedv/llama@latest

Or download prebuild binaries.

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

Bash	Fish	PowerShell
function ll { cd "$(llama "$@")" }	function ll cd (llama $argv); end	function ll() { cd "$(llama $args)" }

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

Usage

Key binding	Description
Arrows, hjkl	Move cursor
Enter	Enter directory
Backspace	Exit directory
Space	Toggle preview
Esc	Exit with cd
Ctrl+C	Exit without cd
/	Fuzzy search
dd	Delete file of dir

The EDITOR or LLAMA_EDITOR environment variable used for opening files from the llama.
