There is a command line tool named tree in Linux & Mac OS. You can install it with package manager.

brew install tree  # for mac os
yum install tree # for centos

cd path/to/ROOT
tree . -I "regex_of_ignored_files_and_dirs" -o outputfilename

Or you can modify the manager.py to call this command in it.

In the Windows command prompt

cd path/to/ROOT
tree /f

or if you want to export this tree to a file, use this command

tree /f > tree.txt

then open tree.txt

In Linux/MacOS terminal

First, you should install package name tree

In MacOS: brew install tree
In RHEL/CentOS/Fedora: yum install tree
In Debian/Mint/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install tree

Then run this command:

tree /path/to/ROOT

exa can do this. You can find installation instructions here. However, on macOS, it's just:

brew install exa

The command looks like this:

exa -T my_stuff

my_stuff
├── file1.txt
├── file2.csv
├── file3.py
└── more_stuff
   └── file3.pyc

or

cd /to/your/folder
exa -T

.
├── file1.txt
├── file2.csv
├── file3.py
└── more_stuff
   └── file3.pyc

I believe the author wants to show the structure of a Python project but is not confining solutions to use only Python – Daniel Corin Aug 09 '17 at 02:27
