            - grandchild2 : ""
        - child2 :
            - grandchild3 : ""
        - child3 :

            - grandchild5 : ""   

To generate the structure in the current location run the following command:

To generate the structure to a different location run the following command:

structure-generator -f <path/to/example>/example_structure.yml -o <path/to/output/location>
