  • Your sample output shows relative paths, not absolute ones. Also, do you just want to list them in your terminal or will the paths be the input for something else?

You can try



find `pwd` -type d


Or replace pwd by the absolute path of your folder

    With bash, you can use "$PWD" instead of calling pwd. Also, it's preferable to use $(...) instead of backticks

To get the pathnames of all directories from the top-most image_script directory:



find image_script -type d


This will include the image_script directory itself.



To get absolute pathnames, i.e. pathnames that start with a /, specify the full path to the image_script directory on the find command line.



Use find images_script -depth -type d to get the pathnames in a depth-first ordering.



With bash:



shopt -s globstar

printf '%sn' image_script/**/


The globstar shell option enables the use of ** to match across / in pathnames. This would output all directory pathnames with a trailing / though. To avoid that:



shopt -s globstar

for pathname in image_script/**/; do

    printf '%sn' "${pathname%/}"

done

You can use tree for it.



$ tree -d -f -i /path/to/root_folder


-d prints only directory.



-f prepend the full path.



-i is used for not printing indentation lines.

Using a for loop might not be the best option here, better use find:



cd /PATH/TO/image_script/..

find image_script -type d


If you need the absolute path you can use



find /PATH/TO/image_script -type d
