About:
Tre is a modern, Rust-based replacement for the standard `tree` command. It generates directory visualizations with improved readability, colorization, and performance. Its main value proposition is providing a more intuitive and visually appealing file structure overview for developers navigating complex projects.
Key Features:
  • Modern Rust implementation for high performance
  • Intelligent colorization and visual formatting
  • Git-aware output (respects .gitignore)
  • Configurable via simple command-line flags
Use Cases:
  • Quickly visualizing project directory structures
  • Filtering file views in large codebases
  • Generating directory trees for documentation
Alternatives:
  • tree – The classic GNU utility; Tre offers better defaults and Rust-based speed.
  • exa – A modern `ls` replacement; Tre focuses specifically on tree visualization.
