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 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.
