After the situation with the developers of Gitea wanting to privatize their project and experiment with DAOs, I've decided to finally switch to Sourcehut. The opinions on this forge are generally favorable, so I'm hoping this will be for the best.

Vento is a utility which allows you to manage your files as if you're playing an old text adventure. It's made in Rust and originally inspired by Chesapeake's Inventory.
Installation
1) Cargo (Recommended)
Make sure Rust is installed, along with cargo, Rust's package manager.
$ cargo install vento
2) Manually
Clone the repository using git.
$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~nixgoat/vento && cd vento
2.a) cargo-make
This install method additionally installs the manpages for Vento. Make sure Rust, cargo and cargo-make are installed.
$ cargo make install
2.b) Cargo
Make sure Rust is installed, along with cargo, Rust's package manager.
$ cargo install --path .
Quick Start
After installing, run:
$ vento -i
This will create a .vento folder in your home directory, which will store your inventories. Some basic commands include:
// listing files in the currently active inventory
$ vento
// switching inventory slots
$ vento -c
// undoing last action
$ vento -u
// taking a file or directory
$ take <file|directory>
// dropping a file or directory
$ drop <file|directory> [destination]
For additional documentation, you can check the documentation for each command by running the following.
$ (command) -h
Or, if Vento was installed through cargo-make, check the manpages by running:
$ man (command)
