A file explorer and a full source-control panel in one dockable herdr pane — activity-bar switching, mouse everywhere, AI-drafted commit messages, and a file preview that takes everything beside the sidebar until Esc puts your panes back. That's the sidebar on the left and a 2×2 fleet of Claude Code and Codex agents beside it — the workflow herdr is built for. If you've ever alt-tabbed out of your terminal just to look at something — the tree, the diff, what's staged — this closes that loop. The sidebar docks on the left of every herdr tab, restores itself on focus, and is driven entirely by click or keystroke. --- One pane. Two views. Zero friction. The activity bar at the top flips between Explorer and Source Control — in process , so switching is instant: no respawn, no flicker, no lost state on the way. Both views ship in one small Rust binary. 🗂 The Explorer A real tree, not a directory dump: - Disclosure chevrons, nested indentation, and two icon themes — colored Nerd Font glyphs (Atom-Material style) or emoji, toggled live.
