GGTree is a simple Python program that outputs the directory structure (tree) from the current folder to the console.

Sample

[14:22:05] User: /python/tree$ ggtree
Directory tree for: /python/tree
├── README.md
├── README.md~
├── TestFolder1
│   └── test.txt
├── ggtree.py
├── install.sh
└── uninstall.sh
[14:22:07] User: /python/tree$

Features

• Lists all files and directories in a clear tree structure.
• Works from the current directory.
• Easy to install and uninstall.

Prerequisites

• Python 3 must be installed on your system.

Installation

1. Download the files GGTree.py, install.sh, and uninstall.sh.
2. Navigate to the directory where these files are located.
3. Ensure the installation script has the correct permissions. If not, run the following command:

   chmod +x install.sh uninstall.sh
   

4. Run the installation script:

   sudo ./install.sh
   

After installation, you can execute the program using the command ggtree from anywhere in the terminal.

Optional: Use a Virtual Environment

To avoid conflicts with system-wide Python packages, consider running the program inside a virtual environment:

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv ggtree_env
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:
   • On Linux/macOS:

     source ggtree_env/bin/activate
     

   • On Windows:

     ggtree_env\Scripts\activate
     

3. Install any dependencies (if required) within the virtual environment.

Usage

Simply run the following command in the terminal:

ggtree

The program will display the entire directory structure starting from the current folder.

Uninstallation

1. Run the uninstallation script:

   sudo ./uninstall.sh
   

This will completely remove the program.
