twin-commander
A text mode twin-panel file manager for Redox OS inspired by Midnight and Total Commander.
About the project
This is my pet project for learning the Rust programming language. I develop this application to be my daily driver for managing files and for showcase some custom programs written in Rust and fill the gaps of the lacking/missing applications in the userspace for the Redox OS. If you are a fan of 'Lets Reimplement The Whole Universe in Rust' too, stay with me
Features
- Basic everyday CRUD file operations
- compact, small footprint (memory usage around ~3 MB, final binary size ~ 700kb)
See the Issues for upcoming features, like:
- Themes
- Archives support
- Remote protocols
- Plugins
and many more (who knows?)
Supported platforms
Twin Commander currently supports only GNU/Linux distributions and the Redox OS.
Windows is not supported due to one of the backend of the terminal handling library, specifically termion (termion only supports GNU/Linux and Redox OS).
The other backend of tui-rs, crossterm has no support for Redox OS, and i want to use this app in Redox OS.
So, choices are made.
Getting Started
To set up a local copy of the project on your machine, follow the next steps:
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/kivimango/twin-commander.gitor using the tarball:
# Download the tarball

# Unzip it
unzip master.zip
# and make your way into the project's folder with
cd twin-commanderBuilding from source
Please refer the Getting started section. Once your local copy of the project is set up, you can build the project from source by running the
# for debug mode
cargo buildor the
# for release mode
cargo build -rcommand.
Installation
Im planning releasing on crates.io once a MVP is ready.
When it is published, the following command
cargo install twin-commanderwill install a binary of this application.
