Demo :DD

Project Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/948573479/
Command: remixtree 948573479 --output tree.txt --verbose

What is this?

Scratch removed the remix tree feature without any warning... So, here we go again, in the form of a CLI!

This CLI fetches a project’s remixes and builds a tree showing how all the remixes connect, using the official scratch API.

Features

• Built with rich
• Async, can create large trees decently fast
• Optional verbose mode to go crazy
• Save the full remix tree to a file if ya want to
• Supports max depth if you wanna show empathy for the Scratch Servers
• Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (Python 3.9+) (hopefully, if not, tell me)

Installation

Recommended: using pipx (isolated, should-work):

pip install --user pipx
pipx install remixtree

Alternatively:

pip install remixtree

Basic Usage

Example:

remixtree 1223809053 --depth 3 --output tree_output.txt

-d, --depth:
    specify how deep the tree should go, default is unlimited
