tre is a modern alternative to the tree command.
tre provides a -e flag that, when used, turns on the “editor aliasing” feature. Some shell configuration will make this work better.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Lists directory structure in a tree-like diagram, like the classics.
- Skips ignored files in git repositories per .gitignore setting.
- Creates shell aliases for each listing that opens the files for you.
- Output in colors, respecting LS_COLORS settings when they exist.
