## Main customizable variables:

##### pe/project-root-function

Function that will locate the project root from the current
`default-directory`

##### pe/directory-tree-function

Indexing backend. One of `pe/get-directory-tree-async' (native,
asynchronous), `pe/get-directory-tree-simple'(native, synchronous) or
`pe/get-directory-tree-external' (extrnal, asynchronus, requires
"find" with GNU extensions)

##### pe/cache-enabled

Whether to use caching

##### pe/omit-regex

Files and directories matching this regex won't be traversed

##### pe/omit-gitignore

Omit files based on .gitignore. Directories containing only ignored files won't be shown.

##### pe/side

Set to 'left or 'right, depending on which side you want the sidebar to appear

##### pe/width

The width of the sidebar when it first appears

## Tailor-fitting pe/project-root-function

The default `pe/project-root-function` assumes that the project root will be the closest directory containing `.git`, or the current directory. If you have `projectile` installed, it will simply use `projectile-project-root` instead. Should you need something more specific, it's not hard to make your own project-finding function.

```emacs-lisp
(defun pe/project-root-function-sample ()
(expand-file-name
(or
;; A specific directory
(when (string-prefix-p "/path/to/my/project/" default-directory)
"/path/to/my/project/")
;; A directory containg a file
(locate-dominating-file default-directory "Web.config")
default-directory)))

(setq pe/project-root-function 'pe/project-root-function-sample)
```
