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.

to output to txt file use command: (you will find in on drive C, as specified below)

tree /a > "C:\_TREE-Output.txt"

For Mac/Ubuntu you can do...

tree -d directories only.

You might have to install it beforehand.

// Macbrew install tree

// Ubuntusudo apt-get install tree

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.
