FAQ

• How do I disable color?

  Color is automatically disabled when output is not to a TTY (for example, when piping to another command or redirecting to a file). If you need a flag to control this, open an issue with your use case.

• How do I heatmap directories instead of files?

  Use --filter 'xargs dirname'.
