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:

tree -s -h

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

tree -P {{*.txt}}

• Exclude a directory:

tree -I node_modules
