Release v1.7

Colorful output 🖌️

No boring monochrome stuff, LET'S PUT IN SOME COLOR!!! 🥳 🎆

Auto update feature

No more tedious download and setup. Filet automatically checks for updates every time it is run. You can also turn verbose on for update checks using the --update or -u flag

Release v1.7-beta

Colorful output 🖌️

No boring monochrome stuff, LET'S PUT IN SOME COLOR!!! 🥳 🎆

Careful ⚠️

This is a beta version and breaking changes were introduced - Colored text may not work in bash

Release v1.6

Added gitignore feature

Now you can add files/folders to the .gitignore file directly from Filet. Just prefix the file or folder name in the Filet structure with a * to add it to a .gitignore file in the filet rootlocation

Example 🥊

$ filet -r D://Projects/pie_py src[main.py+pie.py+*ingredients.json+*tests[make_pie.py]]

This would create the file tree as usual, but with an additional file at D://Projects/pie_py/.gitignore, which contains -

src/ingredients.json
src/tests

When you initialize a git repository in D://Projects/pie_py, you will notice src/ingredients.json and src/tests are ignored by default by git

Release v1.5

New improved file tree view

Replaced the previous version's python inbuilt filetree printer with new custom filetree printer with ASCII characters for better readability

$ filet dir1[f1.txt+f2.txt+dir2[f3.txt]]
✔ Successfully created file tree

▼ dir1
    ∟ f1.txt
    ∟ f2.txt
    ▼ dir2
        ∟ f3.txt

This release has new flags added to CLI

--version or -v flag

This flag displays the version number and release date of current version of filet like

> Filet version         v1.5
> Release date          2021-07-04
----------------------------------------

How --notree works

• Without --notree

$ filet dir1[f1.txt+f2.txt+dir2[f3.txt]]
Successfully created file tree
[{'dir1': ['f1.txt', 'f2.txt', {'dir2': ['f3.txt']}]}]

• With --notree

$ filet dir1[f1.txt+f2.txt+dir2[f3.txt]] --notree
Successfully created file tree
