🌲 Treemand

Visualize and interact with any CLI command hierarchy as a beautiful tree.

What is Treemand?

treemand is a Go CLI tool that discovers and visualizes any CLI command hierarchy — git, kubectl, aws, docker — as an intuitive tree, inspired by the classic tree command.

▼ git  [--version --verbose]
├── ▼ remote
│   ├── • add <name> <url>
│   └── • remove <name>
├── • commit [--message=<string>]
└── • status

Features

• 🔍 Auto-discovery — discovers commands via --help recursion (no config needed)
• 🎨 Colored output — syntax-highlighted tree with configurable color schemes
• 🖥️ Interactive TUI (-i) — k9s-inspired explorer with live preview, keyboard + mouse
• 💾 Caching — SQLite cache for instant repeat lookups
• 🎭 Configurable icons — unicode (default), ASCII-safe, or Nerd Font icon sets
• ⚙️ Config file — ~/.config/treemand/config.yaml for persistent settings
• 🔁 Shell completions — bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell (with cache-aware CLI suggestions)
• 📦 Zero config — works with any CLI out of the box
• 🔄 Self-dogfooding — treemand treemand works!
