    A hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer

  • xplr version 0.20.0 was released last week. If you haven't already, go ahead and install the latest version. This post will try to break down the changelog in the release in an easy-to-digest manner, looking through the perspective of different user groups.

  • gh-xplr

    Explore GitHub repos using xplr via GitHub CLI

  • This is probably one of the most unique features yet seen on a file explorer. What this does is simply lets you treat any directory as the root, restricting your navigation options limited inside that directory and its subdirectories, by passing the "--vroot /any/directory" command-line argument, or by toggling the vroot mode by typing ":vv". This new feature may not sound very useful at first, but imagine a scenario where you want to restrict your navigation options inside a project workspace, or a mount point, or a temporarily created directory. If you are not convinced of its usefulness yet, just wait for the upcoming set of interesting tools and plugins utilizing this feature (see gh-xplr). If you see the word "vroot" appear on the screen, you know'll you're using this feature.
