Your videos are a blessing! I binge watched them, even though I’m an avid arch user for some time now! Absolutely inspiring YouTube videos, always learning something new! Keep up your good work I absolutely appreciate it!

Good short review. At one of your past videos you had commented that you would do a ranger review, and you’ve done it.

[nicknorris]

What a great overview and explanation for a great tool, Thanks and great work!

[dingokidneys]

I think I'll use Ranger from here on! Looks really slick.

Ranger also works really well with icons from nerd fonts I've used it both in i3 and awesome wm.

These CLI file managers always seemed more inefficient to me than just a plain terminal. Why would I need to have CLI file manager when I can just do "ls" and perform operations on files via any program I want?

Ermanno, Any chance you could do a deep dive on Grub w/ luks and how to get grub un-encrypt a luks2 part using pbkdf2? And also to set the Virtualbox EFI to boot to the correct file?

Outstanding! What are you using that allows you to pull up the images and the video? And, is editing the conf file need to have that work? And, your desktop there - is it a WM or a DE?

[PatrickConstant]

Thanks, it will be very useful to manager my several Raspberry Pi (the only acces is ssh).

Ranger looks awesome. Thanks for this overview.
What about LF file manager? I've read a lot about it but I should like to know your opinion.

[GhostCoder]

I use Ranger fm extensively in my terminal.

[momomaniac]

this package save time of openning a file manager while working on terminal

[Appalling]

Hey Ermanno. I don't understand why one would use this? Is something one would use along with a WM? If so, guess this is out of my domain. Thank you anyway for the totally instructional videos!

Yes, you just scratch the surface here. Surprise you didn't mention about scope or rifle here. ranger --copy-config=all Default look is OK. But I like my in a three boxes look(columns). Much more to cover, but you did get the basic's of it all. Many options for how you like to preview pane/window to look and act. Other tools that are needed to make ranger more powerful; highlight atool caca-utils w3m poppler-utils.

XTREE and XTG from the early DOS days. Look it up!

[Mikesco]

I like mc (midnight commander) for managing files from the command line better for now...
