tree
Show the contents of the current directory as a tree.
- Show files and directories up to 'num' levels of depth (where 1 means the current directory):
tree -L {{num}}
- Show directories only:
tree -d
- Show hidden files too:
tree -a
- Print the tree without indentation lines, showing the full path instead (use
-N
to not escape whitespace and special characters):
tree -i -f
- Print the size of each node next to it, in human-readable format, with folders displaying their cumulative size (as in the
du
command):
tree -s -h --du
- Find files within the tree hierarchy, using a wildcard (glob) pattern, and pruning out directories that don't contain matching files:
tree -P '{{*.txt}}' --prune
- Find directories within the tree hierarchy, pruning out directories that aren't ancestors of the wanted one:
tree -P {{directory_name}} --matchdirs --prune
