basics

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:

config
	Config files.
	This is a git submodule.
README.md
	Summary of the git.
*.jpg
	Little picture, does not display
	words well.

Each description-line starts with a tab.
