# TreeBuilder
A fast CLI tool written in Go that reads a tree-formatted text file and instantly scaffolds the corresponding directory structure and empty files on your disk.
> [!NOTE]
> **Hi, Nimendra here!**
> I built this tool out of personal frustration. Most of the time, AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT give you a folder structure in a tree format. It's a massive headache to create those folders and files one by one. I built this tool so you can just take that text output and instantly convert it into the actual folders and files on your disk!
## Installation
Download the latest binary for your OS (macOS, Linux, Windows) from the [Releases page](https://github.com/nmdra/treebuilder/releases).
*Or build from source:*
```bash
make build
```
## Usage
Create a text file (e.g., `structure.txt`) defining your layout. **Note:** Directories must end with a trailing slash (`/`).
**structure.txt:**
```text
my-project/
├── cmd/
│ └── main.go
└── pkg/
└── utils.go
```
**Run the CLI:**
```bash
treebuilder structure.txt
```
**Preview without creating files (Dry Run):**
```bash
treebuilder --dry-run structure.txt
```
