The ability to have broot immediately exit is based on its ability to receive commands, either at start or through sockets. So in this case we're just doing `br --cmd :print_tree`. The same strategy can be used to add searches, filters, toggles, etc. before printing the tree (or printing a path).

To not elide files, the easiest solution is to provide a max height: `tree --height 5000`

No support of LS_COLORS exactly.

No option today to show on a file whether it is gitignored (never considered this: my users either show gitignored files or don't).

You can completely customize file properties order: https://dystroy.org/broot/conf_file/#columns-order

(it's hard to answer complex questions and rfc here, maybe come to the chat for an interactive discussion ?)
