About:
as-tree is a command-line utility that transforms standard path listings into a visual tree structure. It processes input from other commands or files to display directory hierarchies in an intuitive, indented format. This tool enhances readability for complex file system layouts, making it easier to understand project structures at a glance.

Key Features:

Parses newline-separated paths from stdin or arguments
Outputs a clean, indented tree visualization
Lightweight and fast with minimal dependencies
Integrates easily with other shell commands via pipes

Use Cases:

Visualizing the output of 'find' or 'locate' commands
Documenting project directory structures in README files
Quickly exploring nested folder hierarchies in a terminal

Alternatives:

tree – The 'tree' command lists actual directory contents, whereas as-tree visualizes provided paths, offering more flexibility for filtered outputs.
ls -R – Recursive 'ls' provides a raw listing, while as-tree formats the output into a more readable hierarchical tree.
