tree-cli

List contents of directories in tree-like format.

Tree-cli is a recursive directory listing program that produces a depth indented listing of files. With no arguments, tree lists the files in the current directory. When directory arguments are given, tree lists all the files and/or directories found in the given directories each in turn. Upon completion of listing all files/directories found, tree returns the total number of files and/or directories listed.

example

cmd:

tree -l 2 -o output.txt

result:

install

npm install -g tree-cli

usage

use the command tree or treee (to avoid confliction with system command)

NOTE: use treee instead of tree on windows system.

tree/treee

use --help to list help info.

tree --help

specify the level of path (how deep to scan).

use -l levelNumber to specify the path level.

tree -l 2

output result to a file

use -o outputFilePath to specify the output file.

tree -l 2 -o out.txt

show directory only

use -d to show directories only.

tree -l 2 -o out.txt -d

other arguments

see Options.

FOR WINDOWS USERS

you should just use the treee command as tree has been already taken by windows system.

treee -l 2 -o out.txt -d

Options

--help: outputs a verbose usage listing.
--version: outputs the version of tree-cli.
--debug: show debug info.
--fullpath: prints the full path prefix for each file.
--ignore: ignores directory or file you specify - accepts arrays as comma-delimited strings: 'node_modules/, .git/, .gitignore'
--link: follows symbolic links if they point to directories, as if they were directories. Symbolic links that will result in recursion are avoided when detected.
--noreport: omits printing of the file and directory report at the end of the tree listing and omits printing the tree on console.
-a: all files are printed. By default tree does not print hidden files (those beginning with a dot '.'). In no event does tree print the file system constructs '.' (current directory) and '..' (previous directory).
-d: list directories only.
-f: append a '/' for directories, a '=' for socket files and a '|' for FIFOs.
-i: makes tree not print the indentation lines, useful when used in conjunction with the -f option.
-l: max display depth of the directory tree.
-o: send output to filename.
