history
Project history and usage
elio is a Rust terminal file manager focused on rich previews, inline image display, keyboard workflows, shell integration, trash support, and customizable themes.
Project history
The official GitHub repository was created in March 2026 and the project reached a 1.0.0 GitHub release in April 2026. The README presents the project as a batteries-included terminal file manager and links users to a dedicated documentation site.
Adoption history
Official installation instructions cover Homebrew, Cargo, Arch Linux AUR, Fedora COPR, and Debian/Ubuntu apt packages. Homebrew's formula metadata currently tracks the v1.10.0 source archive.
How it is used
Users launch elio from the current directory or pass a file or directory path, then use the terminal UI for navigation, file operations, previews, fuzzy search, zoxide jumps, and shell integration.
Why package nerds care
elio is notable to package users because it combines a modern Rust TUI with broad optional preview tooling and multiple official installation routes, including Homebrew and Cargo.
