erdtree (erd) replaces GNU tree as the tree-style directory lister. It uses
a parallel walker (the `ignore` crate, one thread per core) where GNU tree is
strictly serial. Benchmarked over 658k entries under ~/development, best-of-3,
warm cache, plain output, hidden included, gitignore off:
erd (16 threads) 2.35s
GNU tree 2.1.0 4.22s (1.8x slower)
erd (1 thread) 4.97s (so ~2.1x thread scaling)
eza --tree 15.87s (6.8x slower)
Three changes:
- home_config/erdtree/.erdtree.toml — erd ships as a disk-usage tool, so its
stock defaults are root-at-bottom, size-sorted, with a du column. The
top-level table overrides that to behave like GNU tree; `erd -c du` keeps
the original behaviour and `erd -c all` disables the gitignore/hidden
filtering. Stowed to ~/.config/erdtree.
- home_root/.zshrc — `alias tree='erd'`, plus ~/.zfunc prepended to fpath for
the generated completion. The fpath line goes before the primary compinit
at the top of the file rather than adding a third compinit call after it.
- lk-installers/install-apps — erd is now a runtime assumption of the
dotfiles (the alias depends on it), so a fresh box must get it: brew on
macOS, cargo on Linux (not packaged in Debian apt). The zsh completion is
generated per installed version rather than tracked, matching how the other
generated completions in this repo are handled.
Caveat worth knowing: erd respects .gitignore by default, which GNU tree does
not. `-i` disables it, `-.` shows hidden files.
fastfetch is the maintained successor to neofetch (removed from Homebrew).
macOS installs it in the main brew list; Linux installs it best-effort with a
neofetch fallback for older distros. README tool list updated.
Fold macinstaller + install-apt-pkgs + install-tools + install-zellij into a
single host-aware lk-installers/install-apps (macOS->Homebrew, bootstrapping
Homebrew if absent; Linux->apt + upstream installers). Installs the tools the
configs assume (bat, fd, fzf, zoxide, zellij, nvim, btop, htop, tldr) plus the
fzf-git.sh helper and fzf shell integration; idempotent.
link-dotfiles gains --apps to install then link in one shot. .zshrc drops the
redundant brew/system zsh-autosuggestions source (zinit already loads it),
fixing the missing-file error on a fresh box. README documents the new flow.
