🚀 treetouch v1.0.0 - First Stable Release
We're excited to announce the first stable release of treetouch - a cross-platform CLI tool that converts indented text descriptions into real directory structures!
🎯 What is treetouch?
treetouch takes the pain out of creating project scaffolds. Simply write your folder structure as indented text, and treetouch creates the actual files and directories instantly.
✨ Key Features
- Zero Dependencies: Single executable binaries with no Python or Node.js required
- Universal Distribution: Available via PyPI, npm, and direct binary downloads
- Smart Parsing: Automatically infers hierarchy from indentation (configurable spaces)
- Cross-Platform: Native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Flexible Input: Read from stdin, files, or pipes
- Safe Operations: Won't overwrite existing non-empty files without
--force - Verbose Mode: Track every created file and folder
