# cfiles
|
|
|
|
|
`cfiles` is a work in progress terminal file manager written in C using the ncurses
|
|
|
|
|
library. It aims to provide an interface like [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger) while being lightweight, fast and
|
|
|
|
|
minimal.

|
## Compiling and Installation
|
|
|
|
|
To compile, run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`gcc cf.c -lncurses -o cf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install, simply move the generated executable to a directory that is in your `$PATH`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why C?
|
|
|
|
|
I wanted to improve my C and learn ncurses so I decided this would be an ideal project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apart from this, I have always wanted an alternative to ranger that is faster while still having
|
|
|
|
|
a similar UI.
