IntrRaCLI is a simple yet powerful Terminal User Interface (TUI) file explorer written in Rust. It combines the flexibility of ratatui for rendering UI components with the control of crossterm for handling terminal interactions. Whether you're browsing, previewing, or managing files directly from your terminal, IntrRaCLI has got your back.

- 📂 Directory Traversal – Enter and exit directories effortlessly.
- 📄 File Preview – View file contents directly within the terminal.
⚠️ Error Handling – Graceful handling of unreadable files with clear messages.- 📋 Copy File (Ctrl+C) – Copy the selected file’s content with a single shortcut.
- 📥 Paste File (Ctrl+V) – Paste the copied file into the current directory.
- 🛑 Exclude Hidden Files – Automatically hides dotfiles (like
.gitignore). - 📝 Rename Files/Folders (Ctrl+R) – Rename items using an intuitive pop-up dialog.
