Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:09): Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:09):Came across this really interesting new tool: https://dystroy.org/broot/
Himanshu (Jan 11 2020 at 15:11):btw I use tree
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:12):It would be really cool if our "tree" command did some of the core aspects of that tool like auto-collapsing subpath listings based on some criteria (like size), pretty tree printing, object highlighting, a notion of display sizes so you could create an auto-pager and/or integrate it as a GUI scroll-view implementation

yeah but it is far behind from that
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:13):what do you mean @Himanshu Sekhar Nayak ?
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:14):I'm suggesting we could make the tree command output do some similar things, fairly easily
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:15):that's easily within the scope of a GSoC project. a core dev could probably have it done in a couple weeks.
Himanshu (Jan 11 2020 at 15:15):yeah but tree doesn't have those features that you suggested
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:16):well if it did, that wouldn't make broot very interesting now would it? :)

that's cool. I am just checking gsoc few days ago and it's not like gci
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:17):the whole point is that it's an example we could follow or mimic or possibly even just use, except broot is written in ruby so that wouldn't work.
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:17):yes, gsoc is nothing at all like gci. it's more like an internship or summer job.
Himanshu (Jan 11 2020 at 15:18):btw Is it compulsory to know data structures if you want to apply for an organisation ?
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:27):it's not compulsory to know anything
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:28):but it can certainly help your chances of both creating a good proposal and getting that proposal selected if you have some experience
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:29):that's why the best gsoc proposals tend to come from students that have worked on BRL-CAD some before, made some minor (or major) patches to the code, worked on little features, etc
Sean (Jan 11 2020 at 15:29):it doesn't take much to become good in a particular area of the code.
