lsvine
tree -L 2
with less empty screen space.
Motivation
I built lsvine
to be like tree but with the first-level directories distributed horizontally (and dangling downwards, hence like a vine).
This format compacts the information vertically and displays it in a trello-like format, one "card" per directory.

The future
At some point, might want to get merged into other popular rust-based modern ls alternatives.
It could be implemented as a separate option, eg exa --vine
or lsd --vine
. Example repos
-
exa
- (pro) It already has a long grid view
- (con) Author seems too busy to dequeue issues and PRs
-
(con) README doesn't list download binary from releases and run- website https://the.exa.website/ lists download binary
-
lsd
- (pro) Distributed via snap in addition to other channels that exa uses
- (con) Requires some fonts as pre-requisite
- Others at github topic = ls
