I would like to print out in terminal tree like one below:
$ tree -a . └── .git ├── branches ├── config ├── description ├── HEAD ├── hooks │ ├── applypatch-msg.sample │ ├── commit-msg.sample │ ├── fsmonitor-watchman.sample │ ├── post-update.sample │ ├── pre-applypatch.sample │ ├── pre-commit.sample │ ├── prepare-commit-msg.sample │ ├── pre-push.sample │ ├── pre-rebase.sample │ ├── pre-receive.sample │ └── update.sample ├── info │ └── exclude ├── objects │ ├── info │ └── pack └── refs ├── heads └── tags
With graphically presented content of all files ie it should like respectively?
. └── .git ├── branches ├── config | | [core] | repositoryformatversion = 0 | filemode = true | bare = false | logallrefupdates = true | ├── description | | Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository. | ├── HEAD | | ref: refs/heads/master |
Is there an easy way to reach that?

I'm not aware of an easy way to do that, but I wrote a script that does something similar. Instead of a fancy tree listing like tree does, I made it flat, like find.
Output (in an empty git repo like your example):
.git/ .git/branches/ .git/config ==> start .git/config <== [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true ==> end .git/config <== .git/description ==> start .git/description <== Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository. ==> end .git/description <== .git/HEAD ==> start .git/HEAD <== ref: refs/heads/master ==> end .git/HEAD <== .git/hooks/ ... (The ==> ... <== header/footer is inspired by tail)
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash # Globs include hidden files, are null if no matches, recursive with ** shopt -s dotglob nullglob globstar for file in **; do # Print filename with an indicator suffix for filetype ls --directory --classify -- "$file" filetype="$(file --brief --mime-type -- "$file")" # Only print text files if [[ $filetype == text/* ]]; then printf '==> %s %s <==\n' start "$file" cat --show-nonprinting -- "$file" printf '==> %s %s <==\n' end "$file" echo fi done It's not pretty, but it works. Color makes it pretty at least:
#!/bin/bash shopt -s dotglob nullglob globstar for file in **; do ls --directory --classify --color=yes -- "$file" filetype="$(file --brief --mime-type -- "$file")" # Only print text files if [[ $filetype == text/* ]]; then printf '\e[32m==> %s %s <==\e[m\n' start "$file" cat --show-nonprinting -- "$file" printf '\e[31m==> %s %s <==\e[m\n' end "$file" echo fi done Screenshot:
