SuperTree

SuperTree is a fast and powerful command-line tool like GNU Tree. It shows the directory structure of files and folders in a beautiful tree format. It also supports sorting by size, showing file sizes in KB, MB, GB or TB, and displaying only directories if needed.

Features

• Shows folder and file structure in a tree view

• Shows sizes in bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB

• Sort by total size using the -S flag

• Show only directories with the --dirs-only flag

• Show sizes next to each file or folder using --size

• Limit the depth level with -L

• Colored output for easy reading

• JSON output option

Note

Before building SuperTree, make sure the required build tools are installed on your system.

Debian/Ubuntu/Kali/Parrot:

sudo apt install build-essential -y

Arch/BlackArch/Manjaro:

sudo pacman -Sy base-devel --noconfirm

Fedora/RHEL/CentOS:

sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" -y

Termux:

pkg install clang make -y

These packages ensure that gcc or clang and make are available for compiling and building SuperTree.

Compatibility

• Linux (Debian, RHEL, Arch)
• Termux (Android)
