tree
Show the contents of the current directory as a tree. More information: http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/.
-
Print files and directories up to 'num' levels of depth (where 1 means the current directory):
tree -L {{num}}
-
Print directories only:
tree -d
-
Print hidden files too with colorization on:
tree -a -C
-
Print the tree without indentation lines, showing the full path instead (use
-N
to not escape non-printable characters):
tree -i -f
-
Print the size of each file and the cumulative size of each directory, in human-readable format:
tree -s -h --du
-
Print files within the tree hierarchy, using a wildcard (glob) pattern, and pruning out directories that don't contain matching files:
tree -P '{{*.txt}}' --prune
-
Print directories within the tree hierarchy, using the wildcard (glob) pattern, and pruning out directories that aren't ancestors of the wanted one:
tree -P {{directory_name}} --matchdirs --prune
-
Print the tree ignoring the given directories:
tree -I '{{directory_name1|directory_name2}}'
