Broot is a better way to navigate directories, find files, and launch commands.

It shows directory trees in a compact, readable way and lets you fuzzy-search across a whole tree with just a few keystrokes -- unlike tree, which dumps everything, or cd/ls cycling.
Key features:
- Fuzzy search that filters the tree as you type
- File preview (including images in Kitty/WezTerm)
- Multi-panel mode for copy/move/delete operations
- Git status integration
- Disk usage "whale spotting" mode
- Content search with regex
- Highly customizable verbs and keybindings
