What is the Nvim-Tree equivalent to this Neotree configuration?

Is there a Nvim-Tree equivalent to this Neotree Lua command? It's from the URL pasted above.

require("neo-tree.command").execute({ toggle = true, dir = vim.uv.cwd() })

Also, I am trying to convert the Neotree configuration above into a Nvim-Tree configuration so I can have a smooth transition to Nvim-Tree with little to no issues.

I reckon this should do it:

local api = require("nvim-tree.api")
api.tree.toggle({ path = vim.uv.cwd() })

Take a look at :help nvim-tree-api.tree - things seem to map pretty well.

Also take a look at wiki: Open At Startup ; there might be some useful bits you can copy/paste for your tree startup.

Hey @alex-courtis,

How do I change the symbols and icons of nvim-tree? I want to change the icons for git staging and folder exanding.

      default_component_configs = {
        indent = {
          with_expanders = true, -- if nil and file nesting is enabled, will enable expanders
          expander_collapsed = "",
          expander_expanded = "",
          expander_highlight = "NeoTreeExpander",
        },
        git_status = {
          symbols = {
            unstaged = "󰄱",
            staged = "󰱒",
          },
        },
      }

Take a look at :help nvim-tree.renderer.icons.glyphs for the icons. Also :help nvim-tree.renderer.indent_markers for the markers.
