lf VS bat

I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.

in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf

That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.

As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it.

Try bat (it’s like cat but better) https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height):
