Its README describes it as a faster alternative to `cd` plus `ls`, and explicitly says it is not a file manager. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in October 2020 and the project reached a v1.0.0 release in July 2022. The design centered on doing one thing: provide a TUI for navigating to a folder and print that folder so the user's shell can `cd` there. ### Adoption history The official setup instructions list installation through GitHub releases, Homebrew, Nix, Cargo, Pacman, Scoop, and source builds. The supplied package metadata also records apk, Homebrew, Nix, pacman, and Scoop packaging, showing adoption across Unix, Rust, and Windows package ecosystems. ### How it is used Users configure a shell function or alias that runs `tere`, captures the selected path, and changes the shell directory. The README documents setup for Bash, Zsh, fish, Xonsh, Nushell, PowerShell, and Windows CMD, along with keyboard-driven search and navigation. ### Why package nerds care tere is package-nerd relevant because it is a deliberately narrow Rust CLI that competes in the crowded directory-navigation niche. It differs from heavier terminal file managers by avoiding file operations, and it differs from frecency tools by supporting exploratory browsing without requiring prior visits. ### Timeline - 2020-10-20: GitHub repository created. - 2022-07-15: v1.0.0 release published. - 2023-01-08: v1.4.0 release published. - 2023-07-24: v1.5.0 release published. - 2024-09-15: v1.6.0 release published. ### Related projects - The README compares tere with terminal file browsers such as Broot, xplr, deer, cdir, walk, and sdn; frecency tools such as z, autojump, zoxide, fasd, jump, fzf, and skim; and file managers such as ranger, nnn, yazi, vifm, lf, and Midnight Commander. ### 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 ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tere - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - tere: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/te/tere/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - tere - 1.6.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: tere from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Terminal file explorer | https://github.com/mgunyho/tere - apk - tere-doc - 1.6.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: tere-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Terminal file explorer (documentation) | https://github.com/mgunyho/tere - pacman - tere - 1.6.0-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: tere from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | A terminal file explorer | https://github.com/mgunyho/tere - Scoop - main/tere: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/tere.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [g-ls](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/g-ls/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system, terminal. - [ddh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ddh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system. - [eza](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/eza/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system, terminal. - [gaffitter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gaffitter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system. - [gomi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gomi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system. - [gtrash](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gtrash/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system. - [lsd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lsd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system, terminal. - [mmv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mmv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, system. - [nuls](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nuls/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
