Language: Go
treeman is a freshly-pushed Go project from stubbedev that, judging by its name and language choice, looks like a CLI utility for visualizing, navigating, or manipulating tree-shaped data — likely filesystem directories, but possibly any hierarchical structure. With no description and zero stars, it's a true blank slate, but the name and the choice of Go suggest something opinionated and terminal-friendly.
Why is this interesting? A few reasons:
io/fs and path/filepath packages make recursive traversal trivial, and Go's single-binary output makes CLI tools painless to distribute. A "treeman" written in Go could plausibly compete with classics like tree, broot, or eza --tree.Who would benefit? Go developers looking for a small, readable codebase to learn from; terminal power-users who collect tree-style utilities; and anyone who enjoys following a project from its earliest commits and offering early feedback. If you've ever wanted to suggest a feature and actually have it land in v0.0.2, this is the kind of repo where that happens.
Worth a quick git clone and a skim of main.go to see what direction the author is taking it.
