dirmapper 1.0.1

A CLI tool to generate a directory structure mapping.

Dirmapper

Dirmapper is a CLI tool to generate a directory structure mapping. It provides a visual representation of the directory and file structure, similar to the tree command, with support for .gitignore-like patterns to exclude specific files and directories.

Features

• Generate a hierarchical view of a directory structure.
• Support for .mapping-ignore file to exclude files and directories.
• Optional integration with .gitignore to exclude patterns specified in .gitignore.

Installation

Using pipx

It is recommended to use pipx to install dirmapper in an isolated environment:

pipx install dirmapper

Using pip

You can also install dirmapper using pip:

pip install dirmapper

Usage

Basic Usage

To generate a directory structure mapping:

dirmap /path/to/root_directory /path/to/output_file

Exclude Patterns with .mapping-ignore

Create a .mapping-ignore file in the root directory and specify the patterns you want to exclude:

.git/
*.tmp
*.log

Then run:

dirmap /path/to/root_directory /path/to/output_file --ignore_file /path/to/.mapping-ignore

Disable .gitignore Integration

By default, dirmap will also consider patterns in .gitignore. To disable this feature:

dirmap /path/to/root_directory /path/to/output_file --ignore_file /path/to/.mapping-ignore --no_gitignore
