tree

Show the contents of the current directory as a tree.

=> More information.

• 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 with colorization on:

tree -a -C

• Print the tree without indentation lines, showing the full path instead (use -N to not escape non-printable characters):

tree -i -f

• Print the size of each file and the cumulative size of each directory, in human-readable format:

tree -s -h --du

• Print files within the tree hierarchy, using a wildcard (glob) pattern, and pruning out directories that don't contain matching files:

tree -P '{*.txt}' --prune

• Print directories within the tree hierarchy, using the wildcard (glob) pattern, and pruning out directories that aren't ancestors of the wanted one:

tree -P {directory_name} --matchdirs --prune

• Print the tree ignoring the given directories:

tree -I '{directory_name1|directory_name2}'
