## 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?](https://yazi-rs.github.io/blog/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 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 - 💫 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 Renaming, Archive Extraction, Visual Mode, File Chooser, [Git Integration](https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/tree/main/git.yazi), [Mount Manager](https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/tree/main/mount.yazi) - 🎨 Theme System, Mouse Support, Trash Bin, Custom Layouts, CSI u, OSC 52 - ... and more! https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/assets/17523360/92ff23fa-0cd5-4f04-b387-894c12265cc7 ## Project status Public beta, can be used as a daily driver. Yazi is currently in heavy development, expect breaking changes. ## Documentation - Usage: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/installation - Features: https://yazi-rs.github.io/features ## Discussion - Discord Server (English mainly): https://discord.gg/qfADduSdJu - Telegram Group (Chinese mainly): https://t.me/yazi_rs ## Image Preview | Platform | Protocol | Support | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | [kitty](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty) (>= 0.28.0) | [Kitty unicode placeholders][kgp] | ✅ Built-in | | [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ✅ Built-in | | [WezTerm](https://github.com/wez/wezterm) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ✅ Built-in | | [Konsole](https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole) | [Kitty old protocol][kgp-old] | ✅ Built-in | | [foot](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot) | [Sixel graphics format][sixel] | ✅ Built-in | | [Ghostty](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty) | [Kitty unicode placeholders][kgp] | ✅ Built-in | | [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) (>= v1.22.10352.0) | [Sixel graphics format][sixel] | ✅ Built-in | | [st with Sixel patch](https://github.com/bakkeby/st-flexipatch) | [Sixel graphics format][sixel] | ✅ Built-in | | [Warp](https://www.warp.dev) (macOS/Linux only) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ✅ Built-in | | [Tabby](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ✅ Built-in | | [VSCode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ✅ Built-in | | [Rio](https://github.com/raphamorim/rio) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ❌ Rio renders images at incorrect sizes | | [Black Box](https://gitlab.gnome.org/raggesilver/blackbox) | [Sixel graphics format][sixel] | ✅ Built-in | | [Bobcat](https://github.com/ismail-yilmaz/Bobcat) | [Inline images protocol][iip] | ✅ Built-in | | X11 / Wayland | Window system protocol | ☑️ [Überzug++][ueberzug] required | | Fallback | [ASCII art (Unicode block)][ascii-art] | ☑️ [Chafa][chafa] required (>= 1.16.0) | See https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/image-preview for details.
