cpp_tree

A C++ implementation of the tree command for Windows and Linux environments.

Description

cpp_tree is a command-line utility that displays the directory structure of a given path in a tree-like format. It mimics the functionality of the tree command found in CMD (Windows) and Linux terminals.

Features

• Display directory structure in a tree format
• Option to show or hide files
• Cross-platform compatibility (Windows and Linux)

Prerequisites

To build and run this project, you'll need:

• C++17 compatible compiler
• CMake (3.10 or higher)
• MSYS2 (for Windows users)

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/MohammedHamza0631/cpp_tree.git
   cd cpp_tree

2. Create a build directory and navigate to it:

   mkdir build
   cd build

3. Generate the build files with CMake:

   cmake ..

4. Build the project:

   cmake --build .

Usage

After building the project, you can run the cpp_tree executable from the command line:

./cpp_tree [path] [/F]

• [path]: Optional. The directory path to display. If not provided, the current directory will be used.
• /F: Optional. Include this flag to display files in addition to directories.

Examples

1. Display the structure of the current directory (directories only):

   ./cpp_tree

2. Display the structure of a specific directory (directories only):

   ./cpp_tree "D:\Development\MongoDB"

   Output:

   D:\Development\MongoDB 
   |-- CRUD 
   |-- Exercise 
   |   |-- models 
   |   `-- views 
   `-- mongoose 
       `-- models

3. Display the structure of a specific directory, including files:

   ./cpp_tree "D:\Development\MongoDB" /F

   Output:

   D:\Development\MongoDB 
   |-- CRUD 
   |   |-- create.js 
   |   `-- Crud.mongodb.js 
   |-- Exercise 
   |   |-- main.js 
   |   |-- models 
   |   |   `-- Employee.js 
   |   `-- views 
   |       `-- index.ejs 
   `-- mongoose 
       |-- main.js 
       `-- models 
           `-- Todo.js
