ov is a feature-rich terminal pager written in Go, serving as a modern alternative to less and more. It supports fixed headers/columns, column mode for tabular data, follow mode for real-time updates, incremental search, and handles large and compressed files.
Use cases
- view large log files in the terminal
- replace less with a better pager
- follow log files like tail -f with search
- view CSV or tabular output with aligned columns
- page through git diff output
- monitor file changes periodically
- read compressed gzip or zstd files directly
When to avoid
- you only need the simplest possible pager with no learning curve
- you need a GUI text viewer or editor
