I like tree command on linux which provide you the snapshot of the directory structure and files in a tree view. Something like this:
As most of the times I use CygWin on Windows, I wanted to get ‘tree’ working here too. I could find the source of it at http://freshmeat.net/projects/tree/ which I compiled and installed based on the instructions mentioned.
Though it worked but I started getting problems because of non-ASCII characters used in the ‘tree’ output. For that I installed mintty. ‘mintty’ is even cooler to use on top of cygwin. At the same time I got ‘tree’ command working the way I wanted.
