• Marks dirty files with ✗
• Supports --all flag to show all files (with dirty files marked)
• Alphabetically sorted output matching the tree command format
• Interactive mode (-i/--interactive) with keyboard navigation and instant git add

Building

Interactive mode (navigate and git add files):

./fuss -i
./fuss --interactive
./fuss -i --all    # Interactive mode with all files

└── fuss.f90 ✗

All files:

Files marked with ✗ are dirty (modified or untracked).

Interactive Mode Details

Interactive mode provides a TUI (Text User Interface) for staging files:

• Uses stty raw -echo to enable raw terminal input
• ANSI escape codes (ESC[7m / ESC[0m) for reverse video highlighting
• Reads arrow key escape sequences (ESC[A, ESC[B)
• Executes git add commands and refreshes the view automatically
• Restores terminal with stty sane on exit
