CMD tree command limit number of levels

Question

How do I limit the number of levels that the tree command goes through in Windows? I need to output the results to a text file for work, but because by default the tree command

Answer 1

If you use WSL you can also export the result straight to the Windows clipboard

• From the WSL Cline, if you don't already have tree installed: sudo apt install tree
• Then: tree -L 5 | clip.exe (replace 5 with however many levels deep you want)

That'll bypass saving it to a txt file and go straight to your clipboard for quick pasting into forums, etc.
