A terminal file manager written in bash

Ranger has taken over my world the past few years. Heck I even have it working in Windows 10 in the Linux Subsystem (OpenSUSE for me). Ranger for me is just as fast in real life and my work Windows 10 machines are not anything to write home about.

There's exhaustive reasoning in the readme: ¯\(ツ)/¯

Does this do anything I can't do already via Emacs?

Run on a machine that doesn't have Emacs installed.

But if you install this then you could install Emacs instead, yes?
