CHADTree is a file manager plugin for Neovim that provides a fast, feature-rich file explorer sidebar as an alternative to NERDTree. It offers parallel filesystem scanning, git status integration, filtering, bookmarks, sessions, and extensive icon and color theming.

Use cases

• browse project files in a tree sidebar in Neovim
• replace NERDTree with a faster file explorer
• create, rename, copy, move, and delete files from within the editor
• see git status of files in the file tree
• filter files by glob pattern
• save and restore open folder sessions
• view file icons and colors like ls in the sidebar

When to choose

• you use Neovim and want a modern, fast file tree
• you need file operations (create/rename/delete) inside the editor
• you want git status indicators and rich icon theming in your file explorer

When to avoid

• you use plain Vim instead of Neovim
• you prefer a minimal setup without Python dependencies
• you need a standalone file manager outside the editor
