Directory Tree View Creator

This Python program generates an ASCII tree based on the directory structure of a given directory.

Usage

To generate a directory tree, run the following command:

python main.py DIRECTORY [-w FILE] [-s {type,name}]

Arguments

• DIRECTORY: The path to the directory for which you want to generate the tree.

Options

• -w FILE, --write FILE: Write the tree to the specified file instead of printing it to the console.

• -s {type,name}, --sort {type,name}: Sort the tree by type (directories first) or by name. By default, the tree is sorted by type.

Sorting

The tool provides two options for sorting the directory tree:

• Type: Directories are listed first, followed by files. This is the default sorting option.

• Name: Entries are sorted alphabetically by name.

To specify the sorting option, use the -s or --sort flag followed by either type or name as the argument.

Sorting Examples

Sort by type (directories first):

The program will generate an ASCII tree based on the contents of the specified directory and display it in the console.
