## What it is
A fast, minimalist directory tree viewer written in Rust, inspired by the classic tree command. It offers an optional interactive TUI mode with search, git status integration, icons, and JSON/HTML output.

## Use cases
- visualize directory structure in the terminal
- browse a project tree interactively with a TUI
- show git status alongside files in a tree
- export a directory listing as JSON or HTML
- find large directories with cumulative sizes

## When to choose
- you want a fast, modern replacement for tree or ls -R
- you need git-aware file status in directory listings
- you want an interactive keyboard-driven file explorer in the terminal

## When to avoid
- you need a full file manager with file operations
- you want a GUI-based directory browser

## Facets

- function: file-system, cli, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools, files
