vifm: Open the current directory.
$ vifm .
try on your machine

The command "vifm ." is used to open the VIFM file manager in the current directory.

VIFM is a command-line based file manager that provides a graphical, text-based user interface to navigate and manage files and directories on a computer. By running the command "vifm .", you are telling the system to start the VIFM file manager in the current directory you are in.

Once VIFM is opened, you can use keyboard commands and shortcuts to navigate through the directories, view and edit files, copy and move files, create and delete directories, and perform various other file management operations. VIFM provides a customizable and efficient way to manage files and directories without requiring a graphical desktop environment.
