How to get tree of folders in CMD?

Question

In Windows CMD, I use tree c: /f to get a tree of all directories resided in C:. But now I only want to tree out the only sub-directory folders (not files). How to I exclude files in tree command?

Leave out the "/F" switch, since it's what causes Files to be included.

From tree /?:

Graphically displays the folder structure of a drive or path.

TREE [drive:][path] [/F] [/A]

   /F   Display the names of the files in each folder.
   /A   Use ASCII instead of extended characters.

For Mac/Ubuntu you can do...

tree -d directories only.

You might have to install it beforehand.

// Mac brew install tree

// Ubuntu sudo apt-get install tree

It does provide more information though, there's the "store in file" with `>` part that the other answer doesn't have. – sokkyoku Aug 31 '16 at 09:31

The command tree works for showing all files and folders on Windows. The command tree -d does directories only on Windows. So yes, it does work.

Note: tree -a shows ALL FILES/DIRECTORIES, including hidden ones. You can combine them like this: tree -a -d in the terminal. This works on Git Bash and on Command Prompt but requires tree.exe placed in Git Bash's bin folder (C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin). For more information on Tree's installation for Windows, see this article on installation.

Good luck and happy programming.
