Neo-tree.nvim is a Neovim plugin for browsing and managing the file system and other tree-like structures. It supports sidebar, floating window, and netrw-style layouts with a polished, stable user experience.

Use cases

  • browse files in a neovim sidebar
  • replace netrw with a better file explorer
  • manage file system trees in neovim
  • auto-refresh file tree on filesystem changes
  • follow the current file in a file tree

When to choose

  • you use Neovim 0.8+ and want a reliable file explorer
  • you want sidebar, float, or netrw-style file browsing
  • you value no breaking changes and smooth UX

When to avoid

  • you use Vim or an editor other than Neovim
  • you need a standalone file manager outside an editor
