TreeGen

TreeGen is a lightweight, cross-platform CLI utility that transforms plain-text blueprints into actual folder and file structures.

Whether you prefer tree-style notation, flat structures, or full-path formats, TreeGen handles it all with ease. Generate your structure with AI tools like ChatGPT or write your own—TreeGen brings it to life in seconds.

✨ Features

• Multiple Structure Formats
  • 🌿 Tree-style (with ├──, │, └── symbols and indentation)
  • 📋 Flat-style (simple lists with no indentation)
  • 🛣️ Full-path style (e.g., project/src/main.py)
• Advanced Capabilities
  • 📁 Handles deeply nested directories
  • 📄 Creates empty files as specified
  • 💬 Ignores comments and blank lines
  • 🖥️ Works across Windows, macOS, and Linux

🚀 Getting Started

Installation

No installation required!

• Python Users: Download structuregen.py and run with Python 3.6+
• Non-Python Users: Download pre-built binaries from Releases

Quick Start

1. Create a structure file (e.g., project-structure.txt):

   my-app/
   ├── backend/
   │   ├── app.py
   │   └── db/
   │       └── connection.py
   ├── frontend/
   │   └── src/
   │       └── App.jsx
   └── README.md
   

2. Run TreeGen:

   # Using Python
   python structuregen.py project-structure.txt
   
   # Using binary (Windows)
   .\treegen.exe project-structure.txt
   
   # Using binary (Linux/macOS)
   ./treegen project-structure.txt

3. Watch your structure come to life!

📋 Structure File Syntax

TreeGen is flexible and accepts several notation formats:

Tree-style (traditional)

project/
├── src/
│   └── main.py
└── README.md

Flat-style (simple)

project/
src/
main.py
README.md

Full-path style (explicit)

project/
project/src/main.py
project/README.md

Syntax Rules:

• Directories must end with /
• Lines starting with # are treated as comments
• Inline comments after # are ignored
• Blank lines are skipped

📦 Releases

Pre-built binaries are available for:

• Windows: treegen.exe
• Linux: treegen (executable)

Binary Usage

Windows:

.\treegen.exe my-structure.txt
