tree

Show the contents of the current directory as a tree.

• Print files and directories up to 'num' levels of depth (where 1 means the current directory):

tree -L {{num}}

• Print directories only:

tree -d

• Print 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:

tree -s -h

• Filter the tree using a wildcard (glob) pattern:

tree -P {{*.txt}}

• Ignore entries that match a wildcard (glob) pattern:

tree -I {{*.txt}}

• Print the tree ignoring the given directories:

tree -I '{{directory_name1|directory_name2}}'
