You can use find  find   -type d  gt  output txt   or tree  tree -d  gt  output txt   tree  If not installed on your system   If you are using ubuntu  sudo apt-get install tree   If you are using mac os   brew install tree

find   -type d  gt  list txt   Will list all directories and subdirectories under the current path  If you want to list all of the directories under a path other than the current one  change the   to that other path   If you want to exclude certain directories  you can filter them out with a negative condition   find   -type d   -name   snapshot   gt  list txt

As well as find listed in other answers  better shells allow both recurvsive globs and filtering of glob matches  so in zsh for example     ls -lad              lists all directories while keeping all the  -l  details that you want  which you d otherwise need to recreate using something like     find   -type d -exec ls -ld          not quite as easy as the other answers suggest   The benefit of find is that it s more independent of the shell - more portable  even for system   calls from within a C C   program etc
