lsvine

List contents of directories in a vine-like format.

I built lsvine to be like tree but with the first-level directories distributed horizontally (and dangling downwards, hence like a vine).

This format compacts the information vertically and displays it in a trello-like format.

Installation

pip3 install lsvine

Usage

# lsvine --version
lsvine, version 0.1.0

# lsvine .
0_root         build               dist                           lsvine       lsvine.egg-info

Comparison with ls and tree

• ls is available by default on all linux distributions.
• tree can be installed with apt-get install tree

# ls testdir/
