DESCRIPTION
broot lets you explore file hierarchies with a tree-like view, manipulate files, launch actions, and define your own shortcuts.
broot is best launched as br : this shell function gives you access to more commands, especially cd . The br shell function is interactively installed on first broot launch.
Flags and options can be classically passed on launch but also written in the configuration file. Each flag has a counter-flag so that you can cancel at command line a flag which has been set in the configuration file.
