SYNOPSIS

browsr [options] [path]

DESCRIPTION

browsr is a terminal-based file explorer built with Textual (Python). It provides a rich TUI for browsing files and directories with syntax-highlighted file previews. Beyond local filesystems, it supports browsing remote sources including GitHub repositories, AWS S3 buckets, and other cloud storage backends.
The interface features a directory tree panel and a file preview panel with syntax highlighting for source code files. It supports keyboard and mouse navigation.

PARAMETERS

--theme THEME

Set the color theme.
--debug
Enable debug mode.

CAVEATS

Cloud storage access requires appropriate credentials and authentication to be configured (e.g., AWS credentials for S3, GitHub token for private repos). Performance depends on network speed for remote sources. Large files may be slow to preview.
