struct-cli is a command-line tool designed to help you view the structure of your project folders. Unlike typical tools that list every file including lots of hidden or system files, struct-cli focuses on showing just the important parts. It hides details like dependencies, build files, and cache data, making it easier to understand your project layout at a glance.
This tool works on many types of projects, especially those using Git for version control. It offers options to filter files, see sizes, and search for particular names or patterns. Overall, struct-cli simplifies exploring folders and files without clutter.
You might find struct-cli useful if:
- You want a cleaner view of project folders on your computer.

- You use projects that have lots of files but want to focus on just key ones.
- You work on Linux or other Unix-like systems and prefer terminal tools.
- You want to check project structures without clicking through many folders.
Even if you’re not a programmer, struct-cli makes file browsing less confusing.
