Yazi - ⚡️ Blazing Fast Terminal File Manager

Yazi (means "duck") is a terminal file manager written in Rust, based on non-blocking async I/O. It aims to provide an efficient, user-friendly, and customizable file management experience.

💡 A new article explaining its internal workings: Why is Yazi Fast?

• 🚀 Full Asynchronous Support: All I/O operations are asynchronous, CPU tasks are spread across multiple threads, making the most of available resources.
• 💪 Powerful Async Task Scheduling and Management: Provides real-time progress updates, task cancellation, and internal task priority assignment.
• 🖼️ Built-in Support for Multiple Image Protocols: Also integrated with Überzug++ and Chafa, covering almost all terminals.
• 🌟 Built-in Code Highlighting and Image Decoding: Combined with the pre-loading mechanism, greatly accelerates image and normal file loading.
• 🔌 Concurrent Plugin System: UI plugins (rewriting most of the UI), functional plugins, custom previewer/preloader/spotter/fetcher; Just some pieces of Lua.
• ☁️ Virtual Filesystem: Remote file management, custom VFS provider, custom search engines.
• 📡 Data Distribution Service: Built on a client-server architecture (no additional server process required), integrated with a Lua-based publish-subscribe model, achieving cross-instance communication and state persistence.
• 📦 Package Manager: Install plugins and themes with one command, keeping them up-to-date, or pin them to a specific version.
• 🧰 Integration with ripgrep, fd, fzf, zoxide, Rclone
• 💫 Vim-like input/pick/confirm/which/notify component, auto-completion for cd paths
• 🏷️ Multi-Tab Support, Cross-directory selection, Scrollable Preview (for videos, PDFs, archives, code, directories, etc.)
• 🔄 Bulk Rename/Create, Archive Extraction, Compress Files, Visual Mode, File Chooser, Git Integration, Mount Manager
• 🎨 Theme System, Mouse Support, Drag and Drop, Trash Bin, Custom Layouts, CSI u, OSC 52, CSI 2031
• ... and more!
