Tree Folder Generator

Generate nested folders and files from a terminal-style tree structure pasted in a text file.

Features

• Parse terminal tree text into folder/file hierarchy
• Choose whether to include or skip the root folder
• Avoid overwriting existing folders — merges new structure with existing files
• Supports any file extensions (e.g. .js, .txt, .dart)

How to Use

1. Run command "Generate Folder Structure From Tree" from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).
2. Select the input text file containing the tree structure.
3. Select the target folder where files/folders will be created.
4. Choose whether to include the root folder in creation.
5. The extension creates folders and empty files matching the tree structure.
6. The example tree srtucture is the default tree-structure created by Chatgpt for any app.
