Episode Description
Superfile (spf) is a fancy, modern terminal file manager written in Go that has genuinely changed my workflow, especially for server management over SSH. In this guide I go over installing it, all the core hotkeys, selection mode, file operations, sorting and searching, pinned folders, and how to customize the config, hotkeys, and themes. It's a really nice balance between the speed of the CLI and the creature comforts of a graphical file browser. Links and resources are down below.
