history

Project history and usage

projectable is a configurable terminal file manager for navigating and operating on project files from a keyboard-driven interface.

Project history

projectable is an open-source Rust application created by dzfrias as a highly configurable terminal file manager organized around software projects rather than general filesystem browsing.

Adoption history

The official README documents distribution through Cargo, Homebrew, the Arch User Repository, NetBSD pkgsrc, and downloadable release binaries, giving the tool a presence across several package-manager cultures.

How it is used

Run `prj` in a project to browse its files, preview content, search, inspect Git changes, create or move paths, and execute commands. Key bindings are Vim-like by default and can be customized.

A `.projectable.toml` file can be placed in or above a project to define project-specific commands, key bindings, previews, styles, and file-tree behavior.

Why package nerds care

projectable combines a project-aware file tree, fuzzy search, previews, Git status, commands, marks, and tmux-oriented actions in one Rust terminal application. Its project-local TOML configuration makes behavior reproducible alongside a codebase.

Timeline

Public project: Distributed through Cargo and multiple operating-system package collections.
Current design: Supports project-local `.projectable.toml` files merged with global configuration.

Related projects

The README explicitly integrates with Git, tmux, external pagers such as bat, and interactive terminal programs such as fzf.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
