What it does

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for developers who want to give AI assistants or teammates full context about a project — fast.

📁
Full directory tree
CLI-style ├── / └── hierarchy. Directories rendered before files at every level.
📄
Language-aware code blocks
60+ file types detected automatically. Every file wrapped in a properly fenced Markdown code block.
🖱️
Right-click any folder
Snapshot any subfolder, not just the root. Works from the Explorer context menu in one click.
🚫
Smart ignore rules
.treeignore uses gitignore syntax. Auto-created on first run. Plus hardcoded exclusions for node_modules, .git, and more.
🕐
Local timestamps
Snapshot header shows your device's local time with timezone offset — e.g. UTC+6 or UTC+5:30.
🔒
Safe by default
Binary files detected by null-byte scan and skipped. Files over the size limit are excluded with a notice.
How it works

Three steps. Done.

No configuration needed to get started. Just install and right-click.

1
Install the extension
Download the .vsix from GitHub Releases and install it in VS Code via Extensions → Install from VSIX…
2
Right-click a folder

3
Get your snapshot
A Markdown file is saved to .tree/yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.md. Click Open File in the notification to view it instantly.
Output format

One file.
Complete context.

The generated Markdown is structured, readable, and ready to paste directly into any AI assistant or documentation tool.

📋
Metadata header
Timestamp, file count, and the size limit used — so every snapshot is self-documenting.
🌲
Project tree
Full directory hierarchy rendered in a code block — paste it anywhere and it just works.
📝
File contents
Every file follows with its full source in a language-tagged fenced code block for syntax highlighting.
