Introduction

What is elpa-neotree
elpa-neotree is:
NeoTree is a modern, themeable alternative to the Emacs builtins Dired and Speedbar. Like Speedbar, it auto-refreshes without needing to type “g”. Like Dired, but unlike Speedbar, it creates a new window as a sidebar and not a whole new frame (eg: not a new X11 application window with its own window decorations). NeoTree shows a file system tree relative to the users’ $HOME, where both Dired and Speedbar default to showing the contents of the current directory. Thus it provides a hierarchical rather than a modal view.
Neotree is similar to Vim’s NERDTree plugin.
This addon is for users who are more comfortable with the directory tree sidebar/file system explorer used in most non-Emacs applications.
