Install / build

hometree is a Rust CLI. The project is Linux-first and uses systemd for optional daemon integration.

Requirements

• Rust toolchain (stable)
• Git

If rustc or cargo is not on your PATH, install Rust via rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Install with cargo

If you are installing from a git checkout, run from the repo root:

cargo install --path crates/hometree-cli

This installs the hometree binary into ~/.cargo/bin.

If hometree is not found after install, add Cargo's bin directory to PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

Build from source

cargo build -p hometree-cli --release

The binary is built at:

target/release/hometree

Run from source (without installing)

cargo run -p hometree-cli -- --help
cargo run -p hometree-cli -- init

Verify installation

hometree --help
hometree init
