mani VS fff

a bit of both, planning to make a gopher sake logo, now I just copied the one I had from https://github.com/alajmo/mani. Had an alternative name initially, pan, poor man's ansible :D

Mani came about because I needed a CLI tool to manage multiple repositories, both at work and for my projects. The premise is, you have a bunch of repositories and want the following:

I work with data science, so a lot of the time I'm looking at CSV files, and lately, I've been using https://github.com/chrisbra/csv.vim with I can recommend. Other than that, I wrote a CLI tool to help manage microservices and many-repo setups, https://manicli.com/.

As something of an old-timer here, there's some amusement, but mostly appreciation that people are discovering that these very old ways of doing things have a lot of potential (and a lot of untapped ideas)

Somewhat relatedly, recently I discovered the colorfully named fff. It's a solid file manager, but what I've used it for is a terminal based filespace navigator (by adding a function that just leaves you in the place you navigated to).

It's funny how it's hard to break the habit of "cd" to move around, despite this being way faster, especially if you're not sure where you're going.

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.

According the git repo for fff there are several keybindings (maybe this is a bad design, idk) see https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff

Did you check fff?

Yes, there are many. One popular one is [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger). Another, more minimal example is [fff](https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff).
