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on vifm is here: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd -- can't hurt to give it a read (it's a wee bit outdated but not much; probably only the last section needs to be updated)
