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. ### Timeline - 2024: Official GitHub repository created. - 2026: v1.6.0 release published. ### Related projects - Related tooling includes Go, Bubble Tea-style TUI development from the repository topics, Homebrew, Winget, Scoop, MacPorts, Nix, and Arch packaging. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
