Its README centers the workflow on running the shell integration command, navigating with arrow keys or hjkl, and returning the selected directory to the shell. ### Project history Walk emerged in the recent wave of Go terminal user-interface tools that make command-line navigation visual without becoming full desktop file managers. The project is part of Anton Medvedev's family of terminal utilities, alongside tools such as fx and howto, and is published as a cross-platform open source binary. The public release stream shows active packaging work through 2024 and 2025. v1.10.0 in June 2024 focused on file arrangement and bug fixes, while v1.13.0 in February 2025 added syntax highlighting and shipped prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows architectures. ### How it is used Walk is used by shell users who want a fast, visual directory picker rather than a broad file-management suite. It is commonly compared with tools such as broot, nnn, and ranger, but its own README and third-party reviews emphasize minimal navigation, fuzzy search, opening an editor, and printing or changing to the selected path. ### Why package nerds care Its package significance is modest but clear: it is a single-purpose terminal UX tool that demonstrates the current packaging pattern for small Go CLIs, with Homebrew, Go install, Scoop, WinGet, and binary releases all serving the same executable. ### Sources - - - - - ## 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:** walk - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - walk: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/wa/walk/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - walk - 1.13.0-r13: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: walk from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Terminal file manager | https://github.com/antonmedv/walk - apk - walk-doc - 1.13.0-r13: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: walk-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Terminal file manager (documentation) | https://github.com/antonmedv/walk - Scoop - main/walk: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/walk.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - antonmedv.walk: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: antonmedv.walk from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## 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. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [sequin](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sequin/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal, tui. - [sshs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sshs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal, tui. - [television](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/television/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal, tui. - [aha](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aha/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal. - [amtterm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/amtterm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal. - [ansifilter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ansifilter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal. - [ccat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal. - [claude-squad](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/claude-squad/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, terminal, tui. - [gat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gat/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
