file-tool
Portable single-command file manager + editor. FastAPI backend, React (Vite + Tailwind + Shadcn UI) frontend, shipped as one Python wheel.
Usage
uvx file-tool # serve the current directory
uvx file-tool /some/dir # serve a specific directory
uvx file-tool --port 9000 --no-open
The browser opens to a file explorer; click files to edit, drag/click Upload to push files into the current directory.
Build from source
# 1. Build the frontend bundle
cd frontend
pnpm install
pnpm build # writes frontend/dist/
# 2. Build the Python wheel (picks up frontend/dist via force-include)
cd ../backend
pip install hatch
hatch build # writes dist/file_tool-*.whl
# 3. Publish
hatch publish # or `twine upload dist/*`
The wheel ships frontend/dist/ as file_tool/static/, so the installed package is self-contained — no internet or Node required at runtime.
