tre is a Rust-based command-line tool that displays directory structures as a tree diagram, serving as a modern alternative to the classic `tree` command. It respects .gitignore rules, colors output per LS_COLORS, and can generate shell aliases that open listed files in an editor.
Use cases
- visualize directory structure in the terminal
- list files in a git repo while skipping gitignored files
- open a file from a tree listing via a short shell alias
- colorized file tree output respecting LS_COLORS
- replace the classic tree command with a faster modern one
When to choose
- you want a tree view that automatically honors .gitignore
- you frequently jump from a file listing straight into editing files
- you want a cross-platform tree command installable via many package managers
When to avoid
- you need a full file manager or interactive TUI
- you only need simple ls-style flat listings
- you require features like file sizes or JSON output not supported by tre
