Extension Demo

Features

  • Instantly produces an ASCII tree listing all directories and files in your workspace, respecting .gitignore patterns and user-defined exclude filters[^1].
  • Outputs to a markdown file (project-structure.md) at the workspace root and automatically opens it in the editor[^2].
  • Provides a Command Palette entry ("Generate Project Structure") and Explorer context menu integration for folders[^3].

Requirements

  • Visual Studio Code v1.60.0 or later[^4].
  • Node.js v12 or newer installed on your system[^5].

Installation

  1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace:

  2. Or install manually from .vsix:
    • Download the .vsix file from the Releases page.
    • In VS Code, run Extensions: Install from VSIX... from the Command Palette.

Usage

  1. Open any workspace folder in VS Code.
  2. Run Generate Project Structure from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), or right-click a folder in the Explorer and select Generate Project Structure.
  3. A new file, project-structure.md, will appear at the workspace root with the full ASCII tree of your project.
