Open tree for current buffer

[harrisoncramer]

First off, thank you for this awesome plugin! It's great.

Is it possible to configure the plugin so that the tree opens relative to the buffer's current location on your computer? For instance, I'll often originally open up nvim in ~/myfiles/folder/foo.js and within the same session, edit a file in a different directory, for example at ~/anotherfolder/different/bar.js. Currently, when inside that second directory, the tree opens within the original directory that nvim first opened in (the ~/myfiles/folder directory).

Is it possible to open the tree dynamically based on which buffer is currently focused?

au BufEnter * if &ft != 'help' | silent! cd %:p:h | endif

(actually, checking for 'help' filetype is not that necessary, I guess)

Thank you! Worked perfectly, alongside the vim_tree_respect_buf_cwd setting.

[you should add it] to your neovim config.

Depends on what structure you use.

It can be either:

• init.vim (or some file source'ed from it) if you use vanilla vim-like configuration
• init.lua (or any file require'ed from it) if you prefer Lua.
• some files prepared for end-user customisations, if you use some novice-bundles like LazyVim and so on (don't know exact paths, ask in their community)
