About:
gtree is a command-line tool that generates directory trees and creates directories from Markdown input or programmatically. It simplifies project scaffolding and directory structure visualization by allowing users to define layouts in a simple, human-readable format. The tool helps developers quickly set up complex folder hierarchies without manual creation.
Key Features:
  • Generate directory trees from Markdown input
  • Create directories programmatically via CLI
  • Support for nested directory structures
  • Simple, readable Markdown-based syntax
Use Cases:
  • Scaffolding new project directory structures
  • Visualizing existing directory hierarchies
  • Automating folder creation in build scripts
Alternatives:
  • tree – Standard Unix tool for visualizing directory structures, but lacks creation capabilities
  • mkdir -p – Built-in command for creating nested directories, but requires manual specification of each level
