The command "tree ${path\to\directory} /a" is used to display the directory tree structure starting from the specified path.

  • "tree" is the command that generates a graphical representation of the folder structure.
  • "${path\to\directory}" represents the path to the directory that you want to display the tree structure of.
  • "/a" is an optional parameter used to display all files and folders, including hidden ones.

When you execute this command, it will return a visual representation of the directory structure, showing all subdirectories, files, and their relationships to each other. The "/a" parameter ensures that even hidden files and folders are included in the tree.
