in plain english

Simple Mini Commander is a lightweight, text based file manager and alternative command line for Windows, written in C++. Instead of using File Explorer or the standard Windows Command Prompt, users type short commands into this console to move around folders, manage files, and run system tasks. The tool covers the basics you would expect from a command line: changing and viewing the current directory, listing files and folders, creating and deleting files or directories, copying and moving items, and reading or writing text files. It also lets a user jump straight to Windows Command Prompt or run any executable file from within the console. Beyond the basics, it adds a few conveniences. Command history can be viewed, searched, or saved to a text file. The console screen can be cleared, and colors can be customized from a preset list of names like red, blue, cyan, and gray. There is a search feature that can look for files or directories either across the whole system or just in the current folder, with separate options for files only or directories only. One of the more distinctive features is the ability to create custom commands: a user can define a new command name tied to an action, rename it later, change what action it triggers, or delete it, then run it whenever needed. Directories can also be opened directly in File Explorer, and disk space or folder size can be checked with dedicated commands. The project depends on the open source JSON for Modern C++ library, used under the MIT license. The README is written mostly as a command reference rather than a general introduction, and it does not describe installation steps or how the console is launched.
