a pleasant file explorer in your terminal supporting all filesystems
browsr 🗂️ is a pleasant file explorer in your terminal. It's a command line TUI
(text-based user interface) application that empowers you to browse the contents of local
and remote filesystems with your keyboard or mouse.
You can quickly navigate through directories and peek at files whether they're hosted locally, in GitHub, over SSH, in AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage. View code files with syntax highlighting, format JSON files, render images, convert data files to navigable datatables, and more.

If you'd like to browse parquet / feather files, you'll need to install the data extra. Or, even simpler,
you can install the all extra to get all the extras.
uv tool install "browsr[all]"
