TreeMaker

TreeMaker is a Python tool that allows you to create a directory structure and files from a specified tree format. The tool parses the input tree structure and generates the corresponding directories and files in the specified output location.

Features

• Create directories and files based on a tree structure defined in a text file.
• Customizable symbols for tree structure representation.
• Error handling for invalid paths and file creation issues.
• Command-Line Interface (CLI) for easy usage.

Installation

To use TreeMaker, you can clone the repository and install the required dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/okpalan/treemaker.git
cd treemaker
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

After installing, you can run the TreeMaker tool from the command line with the following command:

python treemaker.py --input path/to/tree_structure.txt --output path/to/output_directory

Example Tree Structure

Your input file should contain a tree structure formatted like this:

├── directory1
│   ├── subdirectory1
│   └── file1.txt
└── directory2
    └── file2.txt

Creating Files with Content

You can also specify content for files in the tree structure by including a colon (:) followed by the content, like so:

├── directory1
│   ├── subdirectory1
│   └── file1.txt: This is the content of file1.
└── directory2
    └── file2.txt: This is the content of file2.

Error Handling

TreeMaker includes error handling for common issues, such as:

• Invalid paths (e.g., directories with illegal characters)
• File creation failures (e.g., permission issues)
• Duplicate directory and file names
