Versions:
tre-command is a lightweight cross-platform CLI utility published by Daniel Duan that reimagines the traditional Unix tree program; version 0.4.0, the only release to date, prints directory structures in a clean, color-coded, indentation-based format while automatically ignoring common VCS and build artifacts, making it ideal for developers who need a quick, readable overview of project layouts during code reviews, onboarding sessions, or documentation chores. Written in Rust for speed and safety, the tool accepts optional depth limits, file-pattern filters, and symlink-resolving flags, so users can tailor output to CI logs, README examples, or shell scripts without additional text processing. Its single-binary distribution integrates seamlessly with PowerShell, Command Prompt, WSL, and Git Bash on Windows, macOS, and Linux, giving system administrators a dependable way to audit folder hierarchies, compare branch checkouts, or generate ASCII snapshots for ticketing systems. Because tre-command respects .gitignore rules out of the box and requires no configuration, it also suits educators demonstrating file organization concepts or technical writers embedding compact tree diagrams into articles. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
