File Manager

Preferred Tools

• eza over ls (better formatting, git integration)
• fd over find (faster, smarter)
• rg over grep (faster, recursive by default)
• dust over du (visual disk usage)
• bat over cat (syntax highlighting)
• trash over rm (recoverable)

Common Patterns

# Find files
fd "pattern" /path

# Search file contents
rg "pattern" /path

# Directory listing with details
eza -la --git --icons /path

# Disk usage breakdown
dust -n 20 /path

# Safe delete
trash file_or_dir

# Backup before editing
cp file file.bak.$(date +%Y%m%d)

Safety Rules

• ALWAYS trash instead of rm
• ALWAYS cp backup before mutating important files
• Ask before bulk operations
