ruut is a great tool by Hazel Bachrach
for making diagrams that resemble the output of the tree command.
For example:
❯ ruut 'Parent (Child 1, Child 2 (Grandchild 1, Grandchild 2), Child 3)'
Parent
├── Child 1
├── Child 2
│ ├── Grandchild 1
│ └── Grandchild 2
└── Child 3
I use this so infrequently that I can never remember what it’s called. This doc gets it into clu, which helps me to find it again when I need it.
