Directory tree asci representation
I was looking for an easy way to build a tree-structure from an input dictionary that I could use in documentation e.g. on github and stumbled upon tree, a homebrew formulae.
Setup on macOS is as easy as:
brew install tree
Now if you cd into a directory that you want to map into a visually representation in ascii, then you would just type
tree . >> output.txt
which would return:

8 directories, 17 files
Something similar could be achieved in Python with this answer on Stackoverflow.
