Project and File Navigationλ︎
Projectile provides easy project management and navigation. A project is a directory containing a version control repository, e.g. .git or a Clojure project, eg. project.clj, pom.xml.
Define a directory as a project root by adding an empty .projectile file.
Notable Projectile's features:
- jump to a directory, file or buffer in project
- toggle between files with same names but different extensions
- toggle between code and its test
- recently visited files in the project
- switch between projects you have worked on
- kill all project buffers
- replace in project
- multi-occur in project buffers
- grep in project
- regenerate project etags or gtags (requires ggtags).
- browse dirty version controlled projects
Treemacsλ︎
Treemacs is the default visual file browser in Spacemacs, providing a way to view and navigate all the directories and files in a project. Visit the Treemacs project for details of all its features
Space+f+t or Space+p+t toggles the Treemacs buffer, the latter opens Treemacs with the root set to the projectile project root.
Space+0 to select the Treemacs window at any time. The Treemacs window s always assigned the number 0.
