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. ### Timeline - 2026: GitHub repository created - 2026: v1.0.0 published on GitHub releases - 2026: Homebrew formula tracks v1.10.0 ### Related projects - The documentation names optional companion tools such as Poppler, FFmpeg, resvg, 7-Zip, unar, FontForge, zoxide, and supported terminal image protocols. ### Sources - GitHub releases API: v1.0.0 published 2026-04-10 and v1.10.0 published 2026-06-30 - GitHub repository API: created_at 2026-03-09, language Rust, topics, and homepage - Homebrew formula API: stable version 1.10.0 and official source archive - Official README and docs: feature, installation, workflow, configuration, and theming sections ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for elio.
