Managing your files. How do you do it?
I'm already using vifm as my main-file-manager so I'm using `fm-nvim with a custom vifm-open-function to open up vifm in nvim.

Very new to Vim. Having trouble with running programs
You might want “vifm” instead, it’s a vim inspired file manager for the CLI that will let you see files and open them … https://github.com/vifm/vifm

Hey it's already done. Vifm or nnn; take your pick. I prefer nnn since it's faster.

Using neovim without a file tree plugin
For "neighbour" files of the current buffer I normally use :NeoTreeReveal if the file is in the main repo. (the current pwd). If not I'll use fm-nvim with ranger. I can use the Ranger %:p:h command to open the folder of the current folder in ranger without changing the pwd in vim.

fm-nvim: Neovim plugin that lets you use your favorite terminal file managers from within Neovim
I've recently released a Neovim plugin that opens a floating window with 1/5 terminal file managers called fm-nvim. It's quite small and fast as the entire plugin is written in less than 100 lines of Lua.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing vifm and fm-nvim you can also consider the following projects:
ranger - A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console
lf - Terminal file manager
nnn - n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager
lf - Fully Decentralized Fully Replicated Key/Value Store
chafa - 📺🗿 Terminal graphics for the 21st century.
xplr.vim - Fork of https://github.com/mcchrish/nnn.vim modified to work with xplr. Until xplr has its own plugin.
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
z.lua - :zap: A new cd command that helps you navigate faster by learning your habits.
rnvimr - Make Ranger running in a floating window to communicate with Neovim via RPC
broot - A new way to see and navigate directory trees : https://dystroy.org/broot
