# broot Interactive Tree-View File Navigator

broot is a Rust-based terminal tool that provides a new way to see and navigate directory trees. It offers fuzzy search, file preview, git status integration, and an interactive tree view that adapts to your terminal size.

## Installation

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- And you have [other types of searches](input/#the-filtering-pattern), for example, searching on file content (start with c/):
- You may also apply logical operators or combine patterns, for example, searching test in all files except JSON ones could be !/json$/&c/test and searching carg both in file names and file contents would be carg|c/carg.
- type a verb. For example, :e opens the file in your preferred editor (which may be a terminal one)
