🌸 TREESHEETS(1) — the treesheets manual page, bestie edition 🌸

okay so welcome to the treesheets man page, section 1 of the manual. sit down, grab a boba, we're gonna learn about a data organizer that is honestly lowkey iconic. ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

treesheets — data organizer 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

treesheets [options] [filename]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

not me about to explain the whole vibe. Treesheets is a data organizer designed to replace spreadsheets, mind mappers, outliners, PIMs, text editors and small databases. like, ALL of them. it's giving versatility, it's giving main character energy, it's giving "why do you need six apps when you could have one". 👑

treesheets starts the program, opening the filename if given. that's the whole thing, bestie. simple.

but WAIT. here's the plot twist. 🫢 if TreeSheets is already running, it will pass the file (if given) to the existing instance, then quit with a non-zero exit code. so it's not starting a second copy of itself, it's like tapping the existing one on the shoulder and being like "hey, this file is yours now" and then dipping. the non-zero exit code is just it telling you "yeah I handed it off, I'm not the one running anymore". don't panic, that's the intended behaviour, fr fr. 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -p — this starts TreeSheets in "portable" mode, where it writes settings to TreeSheets.ini in the current working directory rather than to ~/.TreeSheets. so instead of yeeting your settings into your home directory, it keeps them right there next to you, like a little buddy. perfect for USB sticks, portable setups, whatever your heart desires. 🎀

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • ~/.TreeSheets — stores the settings for TreeSheets. this is where all your preferences live, tucked away in your home directory. 🏠
  • ~/.treesheets-single-instance-check — stores the process id of the running instance. yep, this is the little file that makes the whole "oh you're already running, let me pass this along" thing work. it's the group chat invite link, essentially. 💌
