Treeview CLI

A simple CLI tool to print the current folder/project structure in a tree view. Perfect for developers who want a quick visual overview of their project directories.

Features

• Recursively prints all folders and files from the current directory.
• Easy to install and use.
• Lightweight with minimal dependencies.
• Ignores .git and files/folders in .gitignore
• Additional ignore options via CLI flags
  • --ignore-files: Ignore specific files or directories
  • --ignore-pattern: Ignore files matching glob patterns
  • --dirs-only : Show only directories, no files.

Installation

Install as a dev dependency:

npm install --save-dev treeview-cli

Usage

Run using npx:

npx treeview

Or add an npm script in your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "treeview": "treeview"
}

Then run:

npm run treeview

Command Line Options

Ignore Specific Files

treeview --ignore-files temp.txt build/ dist/
