Steps to install Python 3

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/project-name.git
cd directory-tree

Usage

Once installed, make sure you’re in the correct directory (directory-tree) and then run the script using one of the following commands, depending on your system:

python directories.py    # For Windows or Linux
python3 directories.py   # For macOS

The following commands are available for managing the directory tree:

*Note: commands will use uppercase for first word always so create is valid as is CREATE because it makes typing the commands a little easier.

CREATE

• Usage: CREATE <directory>
• Description: Creates a directory at the specified path. The directory must not already exist.

MOVE

• Usage: MOVE <source> <destination>
• Description: Moves a directory from one location to another. Both the source and destination directories must exist.

DELETE

• Usage: DELETE <directory>
• Description: Deletes the specified directory. The directory must exist and cannot be the root directory.

LIST

• Usage: LIST
• Description: Lists all directories and their children, showing the structure in a tree-like format. Indentation indicates the depth of each directory relative to the root.

Examples:

Example 1: Create Directories

CREATE howdy
CREATE howdy/partner
CREATE hello

Example 2: Move a Directory

Move howdy/partner hello

Example 3: Delete a Directory

DELETE howdy

Example 4: List Directories
