okay so bestie, meet nautilus โ€” a file manager for GNOME ๐Ÿ’– like, it's the file manager, the main character of your desktop, and honestly? she ate.


โœจ SYNOPSIS โœจ

nautilus [options] URIs...

yes that's it, that's the whole vibe โ€” you give her options and some URIs and she goes ๐Ÿ‘‘


๐Ÿฆ‹ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿฆ‹

nautilus is a file manager, designed for the GNOME desktop. That's the official line and we're keeping it fr fr. She opens your folders, shows you your files, and does it with main character energy โœจ

and then, the options. no cap, here's the whole list, nothing skipped, nothing gatekept:

  • --version โ€” shows you the version of the program, iykyk. quick lil flex check ๐ŸŽ€
  • -w, --new-window โ€” always opens a new window for browsing the URIs you specified. not reusing, not being sneaky, a fresh window every single time ๐ŸชŸโœจ
  • -q, --quit โ€” quit Nautilus. yeah. that's it. she's leaving, say bye ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‘‹
  • -s, --select โ€” selects the URI you specified in the parent folder ๐ŸŽฏ so it's highlighted and ready
  • -h, --help โ€” shows a summary of options, the lil cheat sheet bestie ๐Ÿซถ

Other standard GNOME options not listed here are also supported. so like, don't come for me if you see options I didn't name โ€” they're valid, they're just not in the list ๐Ÿ’…
