📂 mytree

A simple CLI tool that prints your project's directory tree using emojis and colors, making it fun and readable at a glance.

🚀 Installation

npm install -g mytree-cli

This installs the global mytree command so you can run it from anywhere in your terminal.

🧭 Usage

mytree [directory] [-i item1,item2,...] [--all | -a]

• directory (optional): The folder path to visualize. Defaults to the current directory (.).
• -i (optional): Comma-separated list of files or folders to ignore.
• --all or -a (optional): Show hidden files and folders (those starting with a dot).

📌 Examples

# Show the tree of the current directory (hidden files/folders excluded)
mytree

# Show the tree of ./src (hidden files/folders excluded)
mytree ./src

# Ignore node_modules and dist folders
mytree . -i node_modules,dist

# Show everything, including hidden files and folders
mytree --all

# Show everything in ./src and ignore .git folder
mytree ./src -i .git --all

🧪 Testing Locally

If you want to test your local changes without publishing to npm, use:

npm link

Run this in your project root. This makes your local package available globally.

Then run:

mytree

It will execute your local code.

To remove the linked package and revert to the installed npm version, run:

npm unlink -g mytree
