tree command?

Sat Jul 09, 2016 12:59 am

Why when using the tree command a bunch of the directories don't show up...
I'm a total novice, non-programer (...basically a hack.)

Welcome to the Forums.

You mean like the ones that begin with a period (aka "dot files")? Tree doesn't show those by default. This is explained on the manual page (use "man tree"). If you want to see them use "tree -a" or "tree -ad" if you want all directories only.
