Community support: [matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#nvim-tree:matrix.org)
## Requirements
[neovim >=0.8.0](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim)
[nvim-web-devicons](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons) is optional and used to display file icons. It requires a [patched font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/). Your terminal emulator must be configured to use that font, usually "Hack Nerd Font"
## Install
Please install via your preferred package manager. See [Installation](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Installation) for specific package manager instructions.
`nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua`
`nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons` optional, for file icons
Disabling [netrw](https://neovim.io/doc/user/pi_netrw.html) is strongly advised, see [:help nvim-tree-netrw](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
## Quick Start
### Setup
Setup the plugin in your `init.lua`
```lua
-- disable netrw at the very start of your init.lua
vim.g.loaded_netrw = 1
vim.g.loaded_netrwPlugin = 1
-- set termguicolors to enable highlight groups
vim.opt.termguicolors = true
-- empty setup using defaults
require("nvim-tree").setup()
-- OR setup with some options
require("nvim-tree").setup({
sort_by = "case_sensitive",
view = {
width = 30,
},
renderer = {
group_empty = true,
},
filters = {
dotfiles = true,
},
})
```
### Help
Open the tree: `:NvimTreeOpen`
Show the mappings: `g?`
### Custom Mappings
[:help nvim-tree-mappings-default](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt) are applied by default however you may customise via |nvim-tree.on_attach| e.g.
```lua
local function my_on_attach(bufnr)
local api = require "nvim-tree.api"
local function opts(desc)
return { desc = "nvim-tree: " .. desc, buffer = bufnr, noremap = true, silent = true, nowait = true }
end
-- default mappings
api.config.mappings.default_on_attach(bufnr)
-- custom mappings
vim.keymap.set('n', '', api.tree.change_root_to_parent, opts('Up'))
vim.keymap.set('n', '?', api.tree.toggle_help, opts('Help'))
end
-- pass to setup along with your other options
require("nvim-tree").setup {
---
on_attach = my_on_attach,
---
}
```
## Commands
See [:help nvim-tree-commands](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
Basic commands:
`:NvimTreeToggle` Open or close the tree. Takes an optional path argument.
`:NvimTreeFocus` Open the tree if it is closed, and then focus on the tree.
`:NvimTreeFindFile` Move the cursor in the tree for the current buffer, opening folders if needed.
`:NvimTreeCollapse` Collapses the nvim-tree recursively.
## Roadmap
nvim-tree is stable and new major features will not be added. The focus is on existing user experience.
Users are encouraged to add their own custom features via the public [API](#api).
Development is focused on:
* Bug fixes
* Performance
* Quality of Life improvements
* API / Events
* Enhancements to existing features
## API
nvim-tree exposes a public API. This is non breaking, with additions made as necessary. See [:help nvim-tree-api](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
See wiki [Recipes](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Recipes) and [Tips](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Tips) for ideas and inspiration.
Please raise a [feature request](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/issues/new?assignees=&labels=feature+request&template=feature_request.md&title=) if the API is insufficient for your needs. [Contributions](#Contributing) are always welcome.
You may also subscribe to events that nvim-tree will dispatch in a variety of situations, see [:help nvim-tree-events](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
## Contributing
PRs are always welcome. See [wiki](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Development) to get started.
See [bug](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug) and [PR Please](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22PR+please%22) issues if you are looking for some work to get you started.
