## Setup
Setup should be run in a lua file or in a lua heredoc (`:help lua-heredoc`) if using in a vim file.
Setup should be run in a lua file or in a lua heredoc [:help lua-heredoc](https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html) if using in a vim file.
Legacy `g:` options have been migrated to the setup function. See [this issue](https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua/issues/674) for information on migrating your configuration.
Setup may only be run once; subsequent calls will result in a warning. Do not invoke from, say, a packer config function and then call it again later.

For complete list of available configuration options see [:help nvim-tree.setup](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
Each option is documented in `:help nvim-tree.OPTION_NAME`. Nested options can be accessed by appending `.`, for example [:help nvim-tree.view.mappings](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
## 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.
## Mappings
The `list` option in `view.mappings.list` is a table of
```lua
-- key can be either a string or a table of string (lhs)
-- action is the name of the action, set to `""` to remove default action
-- action_cb is the function that will be called, it receives the node as a parameter. Optional for default actions
-- mode is normal by default
nvim-tree comes with number of mappings; for default mappings please see [:help nvim-tree-default-mappings](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt), for way of configuring mappings see [:help nvim-tree-mappings](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
local tree_cb = require'nvim-tree.config'.nvim_tree_callback
`g?` toggles help, showing all the mappings and their actions.
local function print_node_path(node) {
print(node.absolute_path)
}
## Tips & tricks
local list = {
{ key = {"<CR>", "o" }, action = "edit", mode = "n"},
{ key = "p", action = "print_path", action_cb = print_node_path },
{ key = "s", cb = tree_cb("vsplit") }, --tree_cb and the cb property are deprecated
{ key = "<2-RightMouse>", action = "" }, -- will remove default cd action
}
```
* You can add a directory by adding a `/` at the end of the paths, entering multiple directories `BASE/foo/bar/baz` will add directory foo, then bar and add a file baz to it.
* You can update window options for the tree by setting `require"nvim-tree.view".View.winopts.MY_OPTION = MY_OPTION_VALUE`
* `toggle` has a second parameter which allows to toggle without focusing the explorer (`require"nvim-tree".toggle(false, true)`).
* You can allow nvim-tree to behave like vinegar, see [:help nvim-tree-vinegar](doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt)
* If you `:set nosplitright`, the files will open on the left side of the tree, placing the tree window in the right side of the file you opened.
* You can automatically close the tab/vim when nvim-tree is the last window in the tab: <https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua/discussions/1115>. WARNING: other plugins or automation may interfere with this.

- ✗ unstaged or folder is dirty
- ✓ staged
- ★ new file
- ✓ ✗ partially staged
- ✓ ★ new file staged
- ✓ ★ ✗ new file staged and has unstaged modifications

Resize the NvimTree window to the given size. Example: `:NvimTreeResize 50`

adds or removes the given value to the current window width.
Example `:NvimTreeResize -20` removes the value 20 from the current width. And
`:NvimTreeResize +20` adds the value 20 to the current width.

SETUP *nvim-tree.setup*
4. SETUP *nvim-tree-setup*
To configure the tree (and make it runnable), you should call the setup
function.
You must run setup() function to initialise nvim-tree.
Setup may only be run once; subsequent calls will result in a warning. Do not
invoke from, say, a packer config function and then call it again later.
setup() function takes one optional argument: configuration table. If omitted
nvim-tree will be initialised with default configuration.
Values may be functions. Warning: this may result in unexpected behaviour.

MAPPINGS *nvim-tree-mappings*
|nvim_tree_vinegar| *nvim_tree_vinegar*
nvim-tree can behave like vinegar. To allow this, you will need to configure
it in a specific way:
- Use `require"nvim-tree".open_replacing_current_buffer()` instead of the
default open command.
You can easily implement a toggle using this too:

- Use the `edit_in_place` action to edit files. It's bound to `<C-e>` by

Going up a dir is bound to `-` by default in nvim-tree which is identical to
vinegar, no change is needed here.
You'll also need to set |nvim-tree.hijack_netrw| to `true` during setup.
A good functionnality to enable is |nvim-tree.hijack_directories|.

File icons with vim-devicons.
Uses other type of icons so a good font support is recommended.
If the tree renders weird glyphs, install the correct fonts.
Syntax highlighting uses g:terminal_color_ from colorschemes, fallbacks to
ugly colors otherwise.

nvim-tree can behave like vinegar. To allow this, you will need to configure
it in a specific way:
- Use `require"nvim-tree".open_replacing_current_buffer()` instead of the
default open command.
You can easily implement a toggle using this too:
>
local function toggle_replace()
local view = require"nvim-tree.view"
if view.is_visible() then
view.close()
else
require"nvim-tree".open_replacing_current_buffer()
