I bought my first Mac in 2013 but honestly I never used it a lot. I bought it to create a mobile app for a client and then later to watch movies and youtube videos but for the past 2 years I have been using Mac as my main computer and I am by no means an expert on using Mac but everyday I learn something good.
Today I was wondering how can I quickly view the directory structure of a folder. After doing a quick google search I found on utility called tree. Yes simple tree command that you can run on your mac but you need to install it first.
Just type the following command. I am assuming you have brew already on your mac. If not then go to https://brew.sh and download it.
-
brew install tree
That is it really. Now go ahead and try this command.

$tree
