NERDTree is a real time saver and a pretty cool extension to your Vim setup, to make it more user friendly. Almost every other Text editor out there comes with an ability to show the file directory listing in which the current file is present. And, if you are wondering how you can do the same in Vim, then look no further because NERDTree is what you want.
So, what does it do? It just shows all the files, folders in the current working directory. Also, you can add,delete files right from the list. That's pretty cool.
So, take a look,
