Artt stands for "Another Rust Tree Tool". It's a command-line utility to show a directory tree. Yes, I know, there's a million tools to do this already, but my favorite tool is tree included with many linux distributions. But I primarily work on Windows and there's not many great tools that mimic the behavior of the linux tree command.
So this tool is being built as a (mostly) drop-in replacement for tree but on Windows. It's being built with Rust, using Clap for command-line argument parsing. Artt will include many of the same features as tree, but some features will not be supported, and there will be a couple features in artt that are not in tree. See the compatibility table/roadmap below.
