Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O
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.

What are the best open source tools to easily navigate directories from the command line?
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.
- Switching from unix - Is there a plugin or something similar to Ranger or NNN?
- NvimTree vs NeoTree
-
LF filemanager is awesome - so is zsh, which I want to migrate to. But in bash and fish, you can make a function so when quitting LF, you end up in the dir you were in in LF. can't find something similar for zsh
in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

What is the process of requesting for a package to be added to the official repos?
I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

What are your programs missing from the official Fedora repos?
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

A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams
It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...
-
Which 2nd language should I learn?
Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa
- Exa Is Deprecated
- ls -l IN COLOR!

What's your favorite Go architecture for a new micro-service? Here's mine...
Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
What are some alternatives?
ranger - A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console
lsd - The next gen ls command
nnn - n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager
colorls - A Ruby gem that beautifies the terminal's ls command, with color and font-awesome icons. :tada:
