In computing, tree is a recursive directory listing command or program that produces a depth-indented listing of files. Wikipedia, 2022.
Scitree is like tree, but different. Instead of sorting content on its name, scitree sorts and highlights given opiniated scientific principles. In this way, you can inspect directory listings more easily.
Scitree is based on scisort, a Python package to sort file paths based on scientific principles.
Scitree requires Python 3.6 or later.
pip install scitreeScittree command on the command line outputs a tree.
