pathy 🦀

Minimal Rust CLI tool to display directory structures

Features

• 🧠 Smart Display: Automatically excludes commonly ignored directories (e.g .git and node_modules) for a cleaner tree visualization.
• 👨‍🦯 Easy Exclusions: Use the -i option to seamlessly omit any specific directories & files from the display.

Install

via Cargo

cargo install pathy

via Source

git clone https://github.com/fearandesire/pathy.git
cd pathy
cargo build --release
cargo install .

Usage

Basic usage: pathy <directory>

Arguments

• <directory>: Directory to display. Defaults to the current directory.
• -i, or --ignore: Specify directories or files to ignore`
• -h, or --help: Display this help message
• -v, or --version: Display the current version

Default Ignored Directories

You can review the default ignored directories here

Examples

pathy .
# Ignoring a directory
pathy -i docs
# Ignoring multiple directories
pathy -i docs node_modules .
# Ignore a directory and a any file 
pathy -i docs README.md

Notice: Ignoring a directory / a file will explicitly exclude any exact match. E.g, ignoring -i README.md will ignore README.md from the file tree visualization entirely, no matter how far down it is.
