https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/sberm/Transgender.rs\n[version-url]: https://github.com/Sberm/Transgender.rs/releases\n\nA minimalistic file explorer with **minimal dependencies**, written by a [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger) hater, works on Linux \u0026 MacOS.\n\n### Features:\n\n* File exploration\n* File searching\n* Switching directories\n* Opening files\n* Multiple themes\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e Documentation can be found [here](https://sberm.cn/trans).\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg style=\"width:70%\"

Installation\n\n#### Linux \u0026 MacOS\n```sh\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sberm/Transgender.rs/refs/heads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\n```\n\n\u003e Currently only supports Linux and MacOS of x86_64 and Arm64 architectures.\n\n#### Arch Linux\n\n[transgender](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/transgender) is available as a package in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org). you can install it using your preferred AUR helper. example:\n\n```sh\nparu -S transgender\n```\n\n### Compiling from source\n\nclone the repo\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Sberm/Transgender.rs.git\n```\n\nbefore compilation, make sure you have rust's environment installed, if not, goto [HERE](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\ncompile \u0026 install\n```bash\ncd Transgender.rs\nmake\nmake install\n```\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e `release.sh` can be used for cross-compilation on Mac and Linux platforms for\n\u003e both aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. It is intended to be run on macOS\n\u003e rather than Linux, as setting up a build environment on Linux to generate Mac\n\u003e builds is difficult.\n\n### Shell configuration\n\nCurrently only supports `bash` and `zsh`.\n\npaste this shell script function into your shell configuration file, its location depends on which shell you use (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.bash_profile`, `source ~/.zshrc`)\n```\neval \"$(transgender --sh)\"\n```\n\nrefresh your shell configuration, or open up a new terminal window\n```bash\n# bash\nsource ~/.bashrc\n# or\nsource ~/.bash_profile\n\n# zsh\nsource ~/.zshrc\n```\n\nlaunch `Transgender.rs` with:\n```bash\nts\n```\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n### Usage\n\n| keys                             | function                                                            |\n| :---:                            | :---:                                                               |\n| hjkl(vim bindings) or arrow keys | scroll/enter/exit a directory                                       |\n| o or \\\u003cENTER\\\u003e                   | go to directory/open file under cursor                              |\n| i                                | go to the current directory (in the left window)                    |\n| q                                | quit                                                                |\n| /                                | search                                                              |\n| ?                                | reverse search                                                      |\n| n / N                            | jump to the next/previous search match                              |\n| Ctrl + U / Ctrl + D              | half pageup/pagedown                                                |\n| (when in search mode) arrow keys | up/down for search history, left/right for editing the search query |\n\nTo open up a directory with trans\n```bash\nts /usr/lib/\nts ..\nts /root\n```\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n### Config file\n\nlocated at\n\n```bash\n~/.tsrc\n```\n\n**if `~/.tsrc` doesn't exist, you need to create one**\n\nIt supports changing the editor (opened with `o` or `ENTER`) and the theme.\n\nAn example of `~/.tsrc`:\n\n```tsrc\n# Set your preferred editor\neditor = emacs\n\n# 'open = ' has the same effect as 'editor = '\nopen = emacs\n\n# Set your preferred theme\ntheme = dark\n```\n\nBecause `o` and `ENTER` can both open files, you can specify their commands separately.\n```tsrc\n# The line below will be overridden by the following lines\neditor = code\n\n# Command to run after pressing 'o', this overrides 'editor = ' and 'open = '\no = open\n\n# Command to run after pressing 'enter', this overrides 'editor = ' and 'open = '\nenter = vim\n```\n\nCommand line arguments are supported as well.\n```tsrc\n# Option value with whitespace, such as '--title \"I Love Emacs\"' is not supported yet\nenter = emacs -nbc --no-desktop --title I-Love-Emacs\no = code --sync on --disable-lcd-text --disable-gpu\n```\n\n### Theme\n\nThe default theme is `lucius`.\n\n`dark` theme:\n\n![](img/dark.jpg)\n\nOther themes:\n\n* [catppuccin](https://imgur.com/a/mK2Toin)\n\u003e Catppuccin only works on terminals that support Truecolor\n* [trans](https://imgur.com/a/m4dmLig)\n* [lucius](https://github.com/jonathanfilip/lucius)\n* [acme](https://github.com/ianyepan/acme-emacs-theme)\n* [sakura](https://imgur.com/a/5YhgVMG)\n* [vscode](https://github.com/Mofiqul/vscode.nvim)\n* [jesus](https://imgur.com/a/creZltw)\n* [lucius-l](https://imgur.com/a/RyImZYW)\n\nThe theme name is case-insensitive; e.g., Catppuccin and catppuccin both work.\n\n### Editor\n\nThe specified editor will open when `o` or `ENTER` is pressed while the cursor is on a\nfile.\n\nThe default editor is `vi`; You can change it to `vscode` by adding this line into your\n`~/.tsrc` file:\n```tsrc\neditor = code\n```\n\n`o` and `ENTER` can open different editors and programs, for example, press `o` to open `vim`,\nand `enter` to open `emacs`. See the guide above for how to configure them using `.tsrc`.\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n### Searching\n\nSearching is case-insensitive by default, use `\u003csearch term\u003e\\C` to search\ncase-sensitively. e.g. `README\\C` will return the search result for `README.md`.\n\n`Transgender.rs` supports **regular expression**.\n\n`Trangender.rs` performs a search whenever a key is pressed in search mode\n\nDue to the use of the `regex-lite` crate, the executable can be a bit bloated (\n~504KB). If you don't need the regular expression feature, simply switch to the\nvanilla version by checking out to the vanilla branch and building\n`Transgender.rs` from there.\n\n```bash\ngit checkout vanilla\nmake\nmake install\n```\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n### Uninstallation\n\nif you want to uninstall `Transgender.rs`, run\n```\nmake uninstall\n```\n\nand delete the `eval \"$(transgender --sh)\"` in your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n```\nWHY DID I MAKE TRANS?\n\nIn my opinion, Trans is simpler than ranger. Creeping\nfeaturism and growing size have made ranger less\nattractive. Additionally, ranger is not a good\nsoftware; it is filled with bad designs that irritate\nits users.\n```\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n#### Chris the Sea Slug\n\nOn the logo of `Transgender.rs` is Chris the Sea Slug.
