-🚀 Basic Usage
-1. Direct Input
-bash
-foldgen --input "src/
-├── App.js
-├── index.js
-└── components/
-    ├── Button.js
-    └── Header.js"
-2. From a File
-bash
-foldgen --file structure.txt
-3. From STDIN (Piping)
-bash
-echo "config/
-├── default.json
-└── production.json" | foldgen
-🔧 Advanced Usage
-Specify Output Directory
-bash
-foldgen --input "lib/utils.js" --output ./my-project
-Combine with Other Tools
-bash
-curl https://example.com/structure.txt | foldgen --output ./src
-Generate in Current Directory
-bash
-foldgen --input "README.md"  # Creates in current folder
-📝 Syntax Guide
-The generator understands standard tree diagram notation:
-
-text
-root/
-├── file.ext
-└── folder/
-    ├── nested_file.ext
-    └── empty_folder/
-Special Characters:
-
-├── for intermediate items
-
-└── for the last item in a level
-
-│ for vertical connections
-
-(spaces) for indentation (4 spaces per level)
-
-🛠️ API Reference (for programmatic use)
-javascript
-const { parseStructure, createFiles } = require('folder-structure-generator');
-
-// Parse text to structure object
-const structure = parseStructure(`src/index.js`);
-
-// Generate files
-createFiles(structure, './output-path');
-🧩 Integration with Other Tools
-With curl:
-bash
-curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your/repo/base-structure.txt | foldgen
-In package.json scripts:
-json
-{
-  "scripts": {
-    "setup": "foldgen --file project-structure.txt --output ./src",
-    "create:components": "foldgen --input 'src/components/\n├── Button.js\n└── Modal.js'"

-❓ FAQ
-Q: Can I add content to the generated files?
-A: Currently the tool creates empty files. We're working on template support in the next version!
-
-Q: How do I handle spaces in file names?
-A: Just include them normally in your input: "My Document.docx"
-
-Q: What if I make a mistake in the syntax?
-A: The tool will show you an error with the problematic line number.
-
-🐛 Troubleshooting
-Error: EACCES permission denied
-Solution: Run with sudo or fix your npm permissions:
-
-bash
-sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}
-Error: Missing input
-Solution: Either provide --input, --file, or pipe content to the command
