|
The `tree` utility outputs a full listing of everything in your current directory, and those below.
|
|
|
|
- Just directories: `tree -d`
|
|
- Output colour to `less`: `tree -C --info | less -re`
|
|
- Ignore files in the `.gitignore` file: `tree --gitignore`
|
|
|
|
You can place information about the files in a directory to use with the `tree --info` option, like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

Each description-line starts with a tab.

## Markdown Conversion
|
|
|
|
To represent a file structure as a nested series of markdown lists, you can try this horrifying `sed` one-liner:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tree -tf --dirsfirst --gitignore --noreport --charset ascii | \
|
|
sed -e 's/| \+/ /g' \
|
|
-e 's/[|`]-\+/ */g' \
|
|
-e 's:\(* \)\(\(.*/\)\([^/]\+\)\):\1[\4](\2):g'
|
|
```
