treebox

treebox installs curated tree-sitter grammars.

Motivation

The core functionality here is very similar to any neovim plugin that helps curate tree-sitter grammars. This is just a way of managing them independently of neovim.

Install

cargo install --git https://github.com/martindur/treebox

Treebox also expects these tools to be available:

git
tree-sitter
cc, gcc, or clang

Run treebox doctor to check the local environment.

Usage

treebox list
treebox add typescript html css

Add Treebox to your Neovim runtime path:

vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(vim.env.TREEBOX_OUT or vim.fn.expand('~/.local/share/treebox'))

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
  callback = function()
    pcall(vim.treesitter.start)
  end,
})

Installed files are written to:

~/.local/share/treebox

You can override that with TREEBOX_OUT or --out.

Commands

treebox list
treebox list --installed
treebox add <lang...>
treebox remove <lang...>
treebox update [lang...]
treebox status
treebox doctor

Registry

Treebox uses a bundled snapshot of the registry maintained by neovim-treesitter.

Thanks for making such a registry available in the first place!

AI Disclaimer

Code was written with the help of an LLM. Most of it has been checked by using the tool rather than by carefully reading every line of code.

I am not very strong in Rust, so use at the mercy of our AI lords.
