make sure you have globstar on

$ shopt -s globstar

$ git ls-files | dirtree -o output.html

Dirtree prints to standard output if no –output option specified so you can redirect it

$ git ls-files | dirtree > output.html

visualize only files that include specific word

$ git ls-files | grep keyword | dirtree > output.html

works with find
visualize all files that ends with rb

$ find ~ -name *rb | dirtree > output.html

With ag:silver searcher

$ ag -l | dirtree -o output.html
