Ranger is an incredibly handy terminal-based file navigator that’s written in Python and is available for Linux and Mac. Ranger allows you to navigate your filesystem using the arrow keys on your keyboard: Up/Down to select files in the current directory (middle pane), and Left/Right to hop back and forth through levels and into directories.
How do I go back to the previous Directory?
