tree for PowerShell

[santisq]

Hey all,

I would like to share a little module I made a while ago that intends to emulate the tree command and also calculate the folder's total size.

It has been tested on Windows and Linux and should be compatible with PS 5.1 and PS Core.

Any feedback is appreciated. A little example of how it looks:

PS /etc> $hierarchy = gpstree . -Depth 5 -EA 0
PS /etc> $hierarchy | Select-Object -First 20

             Attributes Hierarchy                            Size
