history

Project history and usage

superfile is a Go-based terminal file manager with a TUI interface, distributed as the `spf` executable.

Project history

The official repository was created in March 2024. The README presents superfile as a modern terminal file manager with demos, themes, plugins, hotkeys, and cross-platform installation paths.

Adoption history

The project is available through script installers, Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Scoop, and Winget according to the package input, while the official README documents shell, Winget, and Scoop installation methods.

How it is used

Users start the application with `spf`, then perform file-management tasks from a terminal interface. The README points users to tutorial, plugin, theme, hotkey, configuration, troubleshooting, and uninstall documentation.

Why package nerds care

superfile is significant to package-manager users because terminal file managers live or die by easy installation across platforms, and this project is explicitly packaged for macOS, Linux, and Windows ecosystems.
