Its README positions it as a cross-platform, multi-threaded blend of `du`, `tree`, `find`, `wc`, and `ls`. ### Project history The official repository was created in 2022 and reached a 1.0 GitHub release in 2023. The project is part of the modern wave of Rust replacements and hybrids for classic Unix command-line utilities, with attention to Git ignore rules, colored output, icons, multiple layout modes, and parallel traversal. ### Adoption history Adoption is package-manager driven: the input facts list Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Scoop, winget, and zypper packages. That spread matches the project's cross-platform claim and its appeal as a workstation utility rather than a server daemon or library. ### How it is used Users run `erd` against a directory to inspect file trees and disk usage. The README documents options for logical or physical sizes, line and word counts, long metadata views, glob or regex filtering, depth limits, sorting, icons, Git ignore behavior, thread counts, and one-filesystem traversal. ### Why package nerds care erdtree matters to command-line tool collectors because it combines several familiar Unix inspection patterns into one packaged binary. It is also a neat packaging case: one Rust crate surfaces as a cross-platform CLI with shell completions, config files, and operating-system-specific filesystem behavior. ### Timeline - 2022: The GitHub repository was created. - 2023: Version 1.0 was published on GitHub releases. - 2020s: Packages appear across Unix-like and Windows package managers according to the supplied package-manager facts. ### Related projects - erdtree is explicitly compared with `tree`, `du`, `find`, `wc`, `ls`, exa, dua, dust, and fd in its README. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
