As a Linux user and developer, Most of the time, I work with neovim and Terminal, and I hate the most about file manager every time I open a separate application to explore files.

I recently found an exciting project that solves every problem which I have been facing for a long time.

The file manager's name is Yazi. The Yazi is a️ Blazing fast terminal-based file manager written in Rust.

With that, you can explore the files in your Terminal. You can see the file preview, create files and folders, and Search files and folders in the Terminal.

For other features, you can check out the feature page on yazi documentation.

To use Yazi, you need to follow the given steps below:

  1. Optional Tools

    NixOS
