Best way to manipulate files inside neovim?

• neo-tree.nvim

  87 3,007 8.8 Lua

  Neovim plugin to manage the file system and other tree like structures.

  

You can ranger inside of Neovim with this plugin rnvimr. Check it out. Neo-tree is another plugin that I like as a file manager. And also mini.files is another option if you prefer a more minimal approach and the ability to manipulate files like you edit a normal Neovim buffer. I'm pretty sure there are other great options out there as well, these are just my personal preferences.

I liked oil.nvim the best. I let's you manipulate your file system as if it were a regular buffer.

• vim-eunuch

  27 1,780 5.0 Vim Script

  eunuch.vim: Helpers for UNIX

I use eunuch.vim mostly by executing :Rename or :Remove or :Move. I also use this plugin whenever I have to manipulate multiple files in the working directory using :Cfind -name '*.lua' -type f which puts all .lua files in the cwd in the quickfix list then doing something like :cfdo lua vim.lsp.buf.format() to format all files.
