Edit directory tree via YAML

Retree

Installation

yarn global add retree-cli

or

npm install --global retree-cli

Usage

retree

This will open a tree view of the current directory in YAML format in your favorite $EDITOR.

Any change you do there will be applied when you close the file; you can:

• create files
• create directories
• rename files
• rename directories
• copy files
• copy directories
• delete files
• delete directories
• any combination of the above

Multi-cursors in text editors are so natural to use that you can quickly edit your directory structure using retree, the same way you would edit a text file.

Example use cases:

• rename all .js files to .ts
• add a .spec.ts file alongside every .ts file
• visualize all files in a project in one glance (no edit)
