DTC dir-tree-cli

dir-tree-cli is a command-line tool written in Rust that displays the folder structure of a specified directory in a tree-like format. It helps users visualize the organization of files and subdirectories, making it easier to navigate and understand the structure of their projects.

Features

  • Recursively lists all files and subdirectories.
  • Ignores specified folders (e.g., node_modules, .git, etc.) to keep the output clean.
  • Displays the folder structure in a visually appealing tree format.

Installation

To install dir-tree-cli, you need to have Rust and Cargo installed on your machine. If you haven't installed Rust yet, you can do so by following the instructions on the official Rust website.

Once Rust is installed, you can clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dir-tree-cli.git
cd dir-tree-cli
cargo build --release

The compiled executable will be located in the target/release directory.

Usage

To use dir-tree-cli, run the following command in your terminal:

./target/release/dtc <path>

Replace <path> with the path to the directory you want to visualize. For example:

./target/release/dtc /path/to/your/directory

Example

./target/release/dtc /home/user/projects

Ignored Folders

The following folders are ignored by default when displaying the folder structure:

  • node_modules
  • target
  • .next
  • .ssh
  • coverage
  • .git

You can modify the IGNORED_FOLDERS constant in the source code if you want to change which folders are ignored.
