treeGen - A directory Tree Generator

Simple Python CLI App to generate a directory tree for a given path

Current TaskList

• Add support for sorting files and directories
• Add icons and colors to the tree diagram
• Set up the application to publish it as an open source project

Run the App

To run treGen, you need to download the source code. Then open a terminal or command-line window and run the following steps:

1. Create and activate a Python virtual environment

$ cd rptree_project/
$ python -m venv ./venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $

2. Run the application

(venv) $ python tree.py /path/to/directory/

Note: The -h or --help option provides help on how to use RP Tree.

To take a quick test on treGen, you can use the sample home/ directory provided along with the application's code and run the following command:br

(venv) $ python tree.py ../hello/

../hello/ │ ├── hello/ │ ├── init.py │ └── hello.py │ ├── tests/ │ └── test_hello.py │ ├── requirements.txt ├── setup.py ├── README.md

That's it! You've generated a nice directory tree diagram.

Current Features

If you run treGen with a directory path as an argument, then you get the full directory tree printed on your screen. The default input directory is your current directory.

treGen also provides the following options:

• -v, --version shows the application version and exits
