CP Tree

CP Tree is a command-line tool to generate a directory tree diagram.

Run the App

To run CP Tree, 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 RP Tree, you can use the sample home/ directory provided along with the application's code and run the following command:

(venv) $ python tree.py ../hello/
../hello/
│
├── hello/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── hello.py
│
├── tests/
│   └── test_hello.py
│
├── requirements.txt
├── setup.py
├── README.md
└── LICENSE

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