broot − Tree view, file manager, configurable launcher
broot
[flags] [options] [path]
br [flags] [options] [path]
broot lets you explore file hierarchies with a tree-like view, manipulate files, launch actions, and define your own shortcuts.
broot is best launched as br: this shell function gives you access to more commands, especially cd. The br shell function is interactively installed on first broot launch.
Flags and options can be classically passed on launch but also written in the configuration file. Each flag has a counter-flag so that you can cancel at command line a flag which has been set in the configuration file.

BUGS |
broot is known to be slow on most Windows installations. On unix and mac platforms, most problems you may encounter are related to some terminals or terminal multiplexers which either intercepts some standard TTY instructions or break buffering or size querying. The list of shortcuts you can define in the config file is thus dependent of your system. AUTHORbroot is free and open-source and is written by [email protected].
