Tree command output to markdown

treemd.sh

#!/bin/bash

#File: tree-md

tree=$(tree -tf --noreport -I '*~' --charset ascii $1 |
       sed -e 's/| \+/  /g' -e 's/[|`]-\+/ */g' -e 's:\(* \)\(\(.*/\)\([^/]\+\)\):\1[\4](\2):g')

printf "# Project tree\n\n${tree}"

Thanks for providing this!! I updated my version to include a -d (directories only) and -L 4 (to go 4 levels deep).
