Features

• Customizable Ignoring: Specify project types (frontend, backend, machine learning) to automatically ignore common unimportant files and folders.
• User Input: Allows users to specify additional files and folders to ignore, tailoring the output to their specific needs.
• Recursive Directory Traversal: Generates a tree structure that reflects the actual organization of files and directories.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Installation

To install Directree, you can use pip:

pip install directree

Usage
Once installed, you can run the tool directly from your command line:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Project Type: Specify the type of your project (e.g., frontend, backend, ml, or skip).
Additional Folders: Optionally, provide a list of additional folders to ignore, separated by commas.

  📂 src
    📄 main.py
    📄 utils.py
  📂 tests
    📄 test_main.py
Customizing Ignore Patterns
You can customize the files and folders that are ignored based on your project type and specific needs. For example, if your project is a frontend web application, you might want to ignore folders like node_modules, .firebase, and specific files like package-lock.json.
