Folder Structure Generator CLI

A simple CLI tool that scans a target directory and generates a tree-style folder structure, saving it into a structure.txt file.

Useful for:

• README documentation
• Project architecture visualization
• Developer onboarding
• Before/after refactor comparison snapshots

✨ Features

• Recursively scans folders & files
• Outputs formatted tree structure
• Saves results automatically to structure.txt
• Option to specify a custom target path
• Defaults to current working directory if no argument provided

📦 Installation & Usage

Run using NPM

npx sketchit

🧠 How It Works

The CLI scans all directories recursively, formats them using ASCII connectors (├──, └──, │), and writes the visual structure map to a text file.

🎉 Use Cases

• Document directory tree in README.md
• Share architecture during reviews
• Study folder layouts of new codebases
• Snapshot of file structure during refactoring

🚀 Roadmap

• Add --ignore flag for excluding folders (e.g. node_modules)
• Add Markdown export option (--md)
• Add JSON representation
• Convert to npm global CLI (npx folder-tree)
