clifm

Clifm provides a pure command‑line environment for navigating and managing files, avoiding any graphical or text‑user‑interface layers. It works on local consoles, remote SSH sessions, and even on very old VT100‑compatible terminals, supporting minimal color palettes and lacking Unicode. The tool offers typical file operations—copy, move, delete—alongside advanced capabilities such as bookmarks, search, tags, filters, image previews, bulk rename, archiving, trash handling, and directory jumping. Users can invoke short or single‑character commands, reference files by entry list numbers, and benefit from extended color coding for file types and extensions. Designed for users who prefer typing commands directly in a shell, clifm emphasizes speed, low resource usage, and extensibility through plugins, workspaces, autocommands, and autosuggestions. It targets developers, system administrators, and power users who need a fast, scriptable file manager that integrates seamlessly with existing command‑line workflows.
