alder
A minimal implementation of the UNIX tree command with colors, file-size reporting, and pattern matching.
What is alder?
Alder is a command-line tool that recursively lists directory contents in a tree-like format with colored output. It enhances the traditional UNIX `tree` command by adding features like file-size reporting, pattern matching, and Git ignore support. It solves the need for a more visually appealing and functional directory visualization tool in terminal environments.
Developers and system administrators who work in terminal environments and need a better way to visualize directory structures with additional metadata and filtering options.
Developers choose Alder over basic `tree` implementations because it offers modern enhancements like colors, file sizes, regex pattern matching, and JSX output while maintaining minimal dependencies and easy installation via npm/yarn.
