File Hierarchy Preview

00-Intro

Leverging FZF for a user interface one can do fuzzy searching with a directory tree and document preview. 

The PTF.py creates that tree then colors the path thus giving a graph of the item searched.

Example Usage includes:
  - More advance Poorman's Mindmap
  - Person/Contact Graph as a filesystem
  - Asset Mapping (with pass(1) and LDAP file system structures)
  - Maps with stow
  - Project Management / Kanboard

README.md

Outputs a limited file tree rooted at the current directory which highlights the position of the argument within the tree. Originally intended for FZF like so:

fzf --preview 'ptf.py {}'
