PFT - Print File Tree (bash script).md

Print File Tree (PFT)

1. Edit a file in /usr/local/bin called pft

2. Mark it executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin

3. Add these contents

#!/bin/bash

print_tree() {
    local path="$1"
    local indent="$2"
    local show_lines="$3"
    local excluded=("node_modules" ".nuxt" ".venv" "venv" ".idea" "__pycache__")
    local extensions=("py" "txt" "md" "ini" "ts" "json" "vue" "yaml" "env")

    for item in "$path"/*; do
        local name=$(basename "$item")
        if [[ -d "$item" ]]; then
            if [[ ! " ${excluded[@]} " =~ " $name " ]]; then
                echo "${indent}|-- $name"
                print_tree "$item" "${indent}|   " "$show_lines"
            fi
        elif [[ -f "$item" ]]; then
            local ext="${name##*.}"
            if [[ "$show_lines" == "true" ]]; then
                local lines=$(wc -l < "$item")
                printf "%s|-- %s (%d lines)\n" "$indent" "$name" "$lines"
            else
                echo "${indent}|-- $name"
            fi
        fi
    done
}

# Handle -l flag
if [[ "$1" == "-l" ]]; then
    print_tree "." "" "true"
else
    print_tree "." "" "false"
fi

4. Run like this

pft
pft -l

Pass the -l flag to print with line counts.
