gendia

A Python CLI to generate a tree structured diagram for any directory!

---

Imagine this: you are on Discord and is request help from someone about a project you are working on. You want to show the structure of your project directory to the person. You can't just send a screenshot of the directory because it's too big and the person won't be able to see the whole structure. You can't just send a text file with the structure because it's too boring and the person won't be able to understand it easily. What do you do? You use gendia!

Heres an example of a tree structured diagram generated by gendia:

project
├── src
│   ├── main.py
│   ├── utils
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── helper.py
│   │   └──  helper2.py
│   ├── tests
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── test_main.py
│   │   └──  test_helper.py
│   └── README.md
├── LICENSE
└── .gitignore

Not just that, it is color coded! The directories are in blue, and different file types are in different colors. This makes it easier to understand the structure of the directory.

Installation

To add gendia to your project, run:

pip install gendia

This should install gendia to your project. You can now use it to generate tree structured diagrams for your directories.

Usage

To use gendia, run:

gendia path/to/directory

This should generate a tree structured diagram for the directory you specified. You can also specify the output file by using the -o flag:

gendia path/to/directory -o output.txt

This should generate a tree structured diagram for the directory you specified and save it to output.txt.

--nohidden flag can be used to show hidden files and directories:

gendia path/to/directory --nohidden
