After 20+ years in IT .. I finally discovered this useful command
Very similar to my After 20+ years in IT .. I finally discovered this... post, I discovered yet another command I should have know about
Originally I was not going to write this post, but after I found out that several other people didn't know this, I figured what the heck, why not, maybe someone will think this is cool as well
Open up a command prompt or powershell command window, , navigate to a folder, type in tree... hit enter
Here is what I see
I was watching a Pluralsight course and the person typed in the tree command.. and I was like whoaaaa.. How do I not know this? Perhaps maybe because I don't use the command window all that much? Anyway I thought that this was pretty cool
As you can see tree list all the directories and sub directories in a tree like structure. This is great to quickly see all the directories in one shot
The same command will work in Powershell
Finally, here is an image of the command window output as well as the explorer navigation pane side by side
Hopefully this will be useful to someone
