The README highlights plugin and theme ecosystems (links to plugin and theme wikis), a hotkeys wiki (with a specific note for vim/nvim users to switch to the vim keymap), and an auto-update check controlled by the auto_check_update config flag. Community links (Discord), release badges, Homebrew download stats and a request for community support are present in the README.
Why It Matters
superfile packs a modern TUI file manager experience into a single Go binary with cross-platform installers and an extensible plugin/theme system. It's trending now (Rank #5 daily) due to a large star spike (+600 stars today) and an active release/install story (release badge, Homebrew installs, and multiple installer entry points). For CLI power users who want a polished, customizable file manager with easy installation (spf), plugin/theme support, configurable hotkeys, and an auto-update prompt, superfile is a practical, ready-to-run choice.
Who It's For
Terminal-first users and power users who want a modern TUI file manager.
Developers who prefer single-binary Go tools and want cross-platform support.
Folks who want extensibility via plugins and visual customization via themes.
We have an auto update functionality, that fetches superfile's latest released version from github (if last timestamp of last version check was less than 24 hours) and prints a prompt to user, if there is a newer version available.
