# prodir
This is a Python package designed to display and create directory structures in a tree-like format. This tool provides an easy-to-read overview of the directory hierarchy, making it easier for developers to navigate complex project structures and automate the creation of directory layouts from predefined files.
#### Installation
To install `prodir`, you can use pip:
```bash
pip install git+https://gitea.fabelous.app/Fabel/prodir.git
```
#### Usage
You can run `prodir` from the command line. By default, it will analyze the current directory and print its structure in a tree-like format. You can also specify a path to another directory.
To display the directory structure of the current directory:
```bash
python -m prodir display
```
or
```bash
prodir
```
To display the directory structure of a specific directory:
```bash
python -m prodir display /path/to/directory
```
or
```bash
python -m prodir /path/to/directory
```
To create a directory structure from a file:
```bash
python -m prodir create /path/to/structure/file.txt -o /output/directory
or
```
```bash
python -m prodir create /path/to/structure/file.txt #will create it in current dir
```
#### Options
- `-v` or `--verbose`: Show more detailed output, including information about the path being analyzed.
- `-o` or `--output`: Specify the output directory for the `create` command.
Examples:
```bash
python -m prodir display /path/to/directory -v
```
#### Important Files and Folders Ignored
By default, `prodir` ignores files and folders that start with `_` or `.`. However, it does include the following exceptions:
- `__init__.py` and `__main__.py` files: These are considered important and will be included in the output.
- Special folders like `build`, `.git`, `node_modules`, etc.: These are also ignored to keep the output focused on the essential parts of the directory structure.
