List all directories recursively in a tree format

Question

I want to simulate a tree command using Shell Script that displays all the directories recursively in this format:

.
|-- Lorem
|-- Lorem
|-- Lor         


        

Answer 1

You can just launch :

tree .

OR

tree $absolute/path/of/your/dir

If you want to display the hidden files.

By default tree does not print hidden files (those beginning with a dot '.'), just type:

tree -a .

This is what tree command do.
