A terminal-native file manager with rich previews.
Script Preview
Review this script before executing in your terminal.
elio is a terminal file manager that features a three-pane layout, rich previews, with quick actions support inside of the terminal.
This file manager can preview supported file types on the right-hand side of the pane and it can preview markdown, code, images, and archive files including zip files. You can do multiple operations in the file manager such as creating three files in one folder in a single bulk file operation. With that, it has trash management and can restore or permanently delete files.
elio's inline image preview supports Kitty Graphics Protocol, Sixel, and iTerm2 images and it allows you to customize places on the left-hand side and auto-detects connected storage devices. This tool also has vim key-bindings support as well as mouse navigation.
This terminal file manager is very useful if you need an all-in-one file manager to quickly preview files in a TUI interface without using additional CLI tools or if you are accessing a machine remotely over SSH and you need rich previews of your files.
