The tree formatter.
treef
reads paths from stdin and formats them as a tree, like the tree
utility. Many tools' output can be piped to treef
.

Use make
to build and install treef.
make
make install # may require sudo
Take a look at the cookbook for some uses!
The output of a wide range of command line tools can be visualised with
treef
. Here is a collection of recipes as inspiration, some more useful than
others.
List files tracked by Git. This is my savior in projects with build/
,
node_modules/
etc where tree
is too cluttered. I have it aliased to gt
in
bash for ergonomics. ls-files
can also be used to show files in the index,
ignored files, modified files and more.
git ls-files | treef
Visualise your .gitignore. Kind of weird with wildstars, but works all right.
treef < .gitignore
Recursively list HTML files. There are endless possibilities here. find
has loads of comparators like -mtime
, -size
and -user
.
find . -name '*.html' | treef
Recursively list files containing a magic number. With grep comes the whole power of regular expressions.
grep -lR 123 * | treef
What files are referred to in a ctags file? Just for fun :)
grep -v '^!_' tags | cut -f 2 | treef
Run automated tests with
make test
The tests will run with Valgrind's memcheck if installed. See TESTING.md.
