NERD tree is a plugin for the Vim text editor. It allows users to view and navigate the filesystem while editing.

The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and directories. It presents the filesystem to you in the form of a tree which you manipulate with the keyboard and/or mouse. It also allows you to perform simple filesystem operations.
