Bark

bark is a tree-based terminal filesystem browser and file manager with vim-style key bindings.

ls-style file listing
vim-style navigation adapted for tree hierarchies

See action/mod.rs for an up-to-date list of all key bindings.

Roadmap

Settings
File search
Visual mode for selecting multiple files
Ex commands for more complex operations
Directory statistics (total size, number of files, etc.)
Tree filtering (views that only include certain files)
Rebindable keys and macros

Building

Install Rust.
Run cargo run to launch the application.
Run scripts/build.sh or scripts/build.bat to build a release binary into the out/ folder.

Windows Subsystem for Linux

Run scripts/wsl.sh from a Debian-based WSL environment to quickly install Rust and CMake into WSL.

Docker

Run docker build --output out . to build a release binary into the out/ folder on the host. BuildKit is required.

Contributing

This project exists 1) because I couldn't find any tree-based file manager I liked and 2) because I wanted to have fun writing Rust, and I don't really want to spend time reading and reviewing pull requests.

For now, issues are closed, and I'm not accepting any major contributions — especially ones related to the roadmap. If you have a small idea, issue, or pull request, feel free to start a discussion.

Dependencies

For a full list of dependencies, see Cargo.toml.

This repository includes the sources of slab-tree (by iwburns) with a bug fix for set_root (by jsinger67) and additional modifications from me.
