lsvine

tree -L 2 with less empty screen space.

Motivation

I built lsvine to be like tree but with the first-level directories distributed horizontally (and dangling downwards, hence like a vine).

This format compacts the information vertically and displays it in a trello-like format, one "card" per directory.

Installation

With cargo

cargo install lsvine

Downloadable binary for 64-bit linux

The future

At some point, might want to get merged into other popular rust-based modern ls alternatives. It could be implemented as a separate option, eg exa --vine or lsd --vine. Example repos

• exa
  • (pro) It already has a long grid view
  • (con) Author seems too busy to dequeue issues and PRs
  • ~~(con) README doesn't list download binary from releases and run~~
    • website https://the.exa.website/ lists download binary
• lsd
  • (pro) Distributed via snap in addition to other channels that exa uses
  • (con) Requires some fonts as pre-requisite
• Others at github topic = ls
