gitfm - GNU Interactive Tools File Manager

gitfm [options] [path1] [path2]

The main configuration file of the GIT package is .gitrc.TERM where TERM is the value of the environment variable 'TERM' e.g for Linux console your environment contains something like 'TERM=console' so the configuration file name is .gitrc.console. You can (and should) have a configuration file for each terminal type you use.

gitfm is a file system browser with some shell facilities which was designed to make your work easier and more efficient.

The GIT package also contains gitps, an interactive process viewer/killer and gitview, a hex/ascii file viewer.

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.

gitfm is made of two panels. The left one and the right one. Each one contains a file system directory. You can browse the directory tree with the usual cursor keys and pressing ENTER when you want to enter or leave a directory. You may change the panels by pressing TAB. See also BUILT-IN COMMANDS.

Under the two panels there is a shell like input line which you can use to type normal shell commands. The input line supports unlimited characters and keeps a history of the typed commands. gitfm uses the GNU history library for that. See also BUILT-IN COMMANDS.

Under the input line there is a status bar. You can see there the status of the currently executed command, the warnings and errors and you will be prompted if a decision has to be taken.

These manual page is incomplete. Only the GIT's info documentation is being updated.
