tree, list contents of directories in a tree-like format
Normally, I'd not want to make a video for commans like tree [1] since it's a well-known program, but it doesn't seem to have many videos online and most of them are talking too much or having lousy music, getting to the point and showcasing what this program does is all I think the videos should be, so I recorded this one.
From the website:
"Tree is a recursive directory listing command that produces a depth indented listing of files, which is colorized ala dircolors if the LS_COLORS environment variable is set and output is to tty. Tree has been ported and reported to work under the following operating systems: Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris, HP/UX, Cygwin, HP Nonstop and OS/2."
And I couldn't tell better than that, it summarizes up, but one thing for sure, `tree` has many options to customize the output and even formats, such as traditional plain text with ASCII or Unicode, XML, or HTML for web viewing.
Size, file type classifier, human-readable, modes, follow symlink, stay-on-same-filesystem, sorting, directory only, depth limit, pattern filter, and much more options.
Oh yeah, and colors from your LS_COLORS.
