Cdpath: Easily Navigate Directories in the Terminal
https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua is quite nice and has more features, e.g. fzf integration and an interactive mode.
-
What terminal apps are you using?
Then install: - z.lua - better cd - exa - better ls - trash - rm deletes completely - trash moves files to trash, so you can recover them - massren - absolutely the best file/folder renamer (especially for devs) - tldr - better than man
- A statically typed scripting language that transpiles to Posix sh
-
Which file manager do you use and why?
Me too. I like it customizability and flexibility. It's even better when combined with the ranger-plugin that come z.lua, which I have bound to cj (I used auto-jump before this, which used that binding as well).
wget https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/raw/master/ranger_zlua.pyi && chmod +x ~/.config/ranger/plugins/ranger_zlua.py

Better version of cd?

6 Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers
I personally use z.lua, but if you're a Rust fan there's also zoxide. Both are multi-platform and highly configurable.
-
Is there something like z available for git?
With z you can CD into a directory like ~/Documents/Foo/Bar/Baz by executing z baz.
-
What is your cd system?
I used to keep some directory bookmarks with apparix, but nowadays I just use z.lua.
-
A new zsh plugin for finding z abbreviations
Currently zabb mainly supports the zoxide implementation of z. It works ok with z.lua, fasd and z, but may not find the shortest abbreviations for those. It may work for other implementations if they support the z -e command. I welcome PRs to expand zabb to other implementations.

The case of the jump into the middle of an instruction from nowhere (2023)
Well yeah, I mean no one forces you to use Explorer for file management under Windows. I'm an old-time Norton Commander user, and when Windows came around I switched to Total Commander. There are open-source alternatives too, even cross-platform ones, like this one: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/.
That being said, no one forces you to use Windows either - except maybe your employer or the software you are using, but this is getting less and less of a problem fortunately (web apps, ).

Total Commander
I've been looking for a Linux alternative ever since I mostly switched away from Windows a few years ago, and so far this one is the best FOSS alternative I found: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ - it's even written in Pascal, same as TC.
Very useful, I bought it years ago and used it on Windows. I've been using only Linux for about 10 years now, but I'd like to use Total Commander on Linux.
Double Commander is open source, cross-platform and written with Lazarus / FPC : https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/
But ... I am not able not to use Midnight Commander ...

Modern graphical file explorer
For me, a file manager simply has to work and offer a certain range of functions. That's why I use Double Commander myself. Is this tool modern in the sense that it is visually appealing? Or in the sense that it is created with a programming language that is currently popular? Definitely not.
-
Ask HN: Are people still using Pascal in 2023?
Indeed, it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus.
I prefer DoubleCommander: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/
It is a free, cross-platform alternative, also written in Pascal and (IMHO) has surpassed TotalCommander in many ways.
- There is a great, free (not fake free, but really free) bulk file re-namer utility that everyone should know about. You can re-name hundreds of files in seconds which is good if things are named stupidly or you just like conformity.
