Yazi - โšก๏ธ Blazing Fast Terminal File Manager

Yazi (means "duck") is a terminal file manager written in Rust, based on non-blocking async I/O. It aims to provide an efficient, user-friendly, and customizable file management experience.

๐Ÿ’ก A new article explaining its internal workings: Why is Yazi Fast?

  • ๐Ÿš€ Full Asynchronous Support: All I/O operations are asynchronous, CPU tasks are spread across multiple threads, making the most of available resources.
  • ๐Ÿ’ช Powerful Async Task Scheduling and Management: Provides real-time progress updates, task cancellation, and internal task priority assignment.
  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Built-in Support for Multiple Image Protocols: Also integrated with รœberzug++, covering almost all terminals.
  • ๐ŸŒŸ Built-in Code Highlighting and Image Decoding: Combined with the pre-loading mechanism, greatly accelerates image and normal file loading.
  • ๐Ÿ”Œ Concurrent Plugin System: UI plugins (rewriting most of the UI), functional plugins, custom previewer/preloader/fetcher; Just some pieces of Lua.
  • ๐Ÿ“ก Data Distribution Service: Built on a client-server architecture (no additional server process required), integrated with a Lua-based publish-subscribe model, achieving cross-instance communication and state persistence.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Package Manager: Install plugins and themes with one command, keeping them always up to date, or pin them to a specific version.
  • ๐Ÿงฐ Integration with fd, rg, fzf, zoxide
  • ๐Ÿ’ซ Vim-like input/select/which/notify component, auto-completion for cd paths
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Multi-Tab Support, Cross-directory selection, Scrollable Preview (for videos, PDFs, archives, directories, code, etc.)
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Bulk Renaming, Visual Mode, File Chooser
  • ๐ŸŽจ Theme System, Mouse Support, Trash Bin, Custom Layouts, CSI u
  • ... and more!
