Blog: Terminal file managers and my Vifm setup
I've documented some really cool things that vifm can do: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd
-
Prevent Thunar from writing lines to config file, or alternatively make git ignore certain lines
So I wrote https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac -- 30 lines of shell plus maybe another 30 or 40 of comments, and it does everything I want in a dotfile manager.
-
What tools/methods do you use to track/journal all changes to your (desktop) system?
All this is painlessly taken care of by https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac (documentation: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd)
-
ncdu - ncurses disk usage - see which directories and files are hogging the most space
If you have fzf installed, grab https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/try, and run try dust. Then start typing -t jpg (for example). Then backspace over the jpg and change it to png. Or use some other options.
-
what is the easiest way to backup your config files?
I hesitate to nominate any of them because (a) there are dozens or even hundreds of them and (b) I don't like any of them; I wrote my own because I needed a "hold" feature that no one had (i.e., when propagating changes to the repo, I want to hold back some parts of the change; https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd explains better if you're interested
-
Do you use VIFM?
For those of you who are curious, https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd is my part "review" and part "tips and tricks" on vifm.
-
What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
Most of my tools are in bash or perl, most of them less than 100 lines of code, (most of them are less than 200 even with comments). https://github.com/sitaramc/notes has all of them (terrible name for a repo full of tools I know; sorry!)
-
Seeking a terminal file manager
Absolutely vifm. My notes+tips/tricks on this at https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd
-
Should I use vim or neovim?
https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd for documentation, https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd for code, if you're interested.
-
difference between terminal file managers?
if you're a vim user, you can't go wrong with vifm. My take on vifm is here: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd -- can't hurt to give it a read (it's a wee bit outdated but not much; probably only the last section needs to be updated)

Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

- Gdu ā fast disk usage analyzer with console interface written in Go
-
Clean mount lists in Linux
For anyone that likes ncdu I would highly recommend gdu. https://github.com/dundee/gdu
-
new and interesting file managers or text editors for the cli lately?
gdu is faster
- How to report on usage?
- Why does macOS keep a cache of every wallpaper ever used?
-
Midnight Commander is MIA; any command line based twin pane file manager recommendations?
gdu - Just a very fast and cool disk usage explorer
-
RPCS3 compile to SD card?
The RPCS3 flatpak lives in /home/deck/.var/app/net.rpcs3.RPCS3. I'd advise you to install a tool like gdu or use something like du -h --max-depth=1 in the console in that directory, to find where the disk usage goes. There are also GUI tools, but I prefer these myself.
-
Ncdu ā NCurses Disk Usage
While ncdu does the job I've found gdu (similar tool written in Go) significantly faster for larger directories.
https://github.com/dundee/gdu
-
Why can i not resize my main partition? Iām running out of space and have no idea why
There's also gdu, which is much faster on SSDs.
What are some alternatives?
clifm - The shell-like, command line terminal file manager: simple, fast, extensible, and lightweight as hell.
higgs - A tiny cross-platform Go library to hide/unhide files and directories
smenu - smenu started as a lightweight and flexible terminal menu generator, but quickly evolved into a powerful and versatile CLI selection tool for interactive or scripting use.
duf - Disk Usage/Free Utility - a better 'df' alternative
vifm.vim - Vim plugin that allows use of vifm as a file picker
pathtype - Add a type for paths in Go.
suda.vim - š„Ŗ An alternative sudo.vim for Vim and Neovim, limited support sudo in Windows
modern-unix - A collection of modern/faster/saner alternatives to common unix commands.
nbrowser - š š : an easy way to open links in browsers, mimic the "Open URL with..." dialog on Android, `nbrowser` help you open links in a browser
diskonaut - Terminal disk space navigator š
Watson - :watch: A wonderful CLI to track your time!
todotxt - Parser for todo.txt files in Go ā
