Is there something similar for emacs like vims's NERDtree

Question

For vim there is a filesystem explorer called NERDtree: https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree

Surely an alternative or superior package exists for Emacs?

Answer 1

I use a little of emacs-nav and a little of dired to navigate my projects' file trees. For file management tasks, I mostly use bash (often from within emacs).
