rpg-cli is a minimalist computer RPG written in Rust that turns your filesystem into a dungeon, usable as a `cd` replacement where changing directories can trigger random enemy encounters. It features character leveling, turn-based combat, items and equipment, player classes, and shell integration for commands like cd and rm.

Use cases

• play an RPG in the terminal while navigating my filesystem
• replace cd with a game that has random enemy encounters
• level up a character by moving between directories
• add gamification to everyday shell commands like rm and mkdir
• try a minimalist JRPG-style game with no graphics
• hide chests and quests in my directory tree

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, fun terminal game that integrates with your shell workflow
• you enjoy JRPG mechanics like leveling, equipment, and turn-based combat without story or graphics
• you want a novel `cd` replacement written in a fast, single-binary language

When to avoid

• you need a serious file navigation tool without game interruptions
• you dislike permadeath mechanics that can lose your character progress
• you want a graphical RPG with story, plot, or visuals
