## Description
|
||||
> Fast Files is a project consisting of two bash scripts, `ff` and `ffv`, that combine the functionality of `mkdir` and `touch`, enabling you to create directory structures and files in a single command. The `ffv` script additionally prints the created objects in a tree-like structure using `eza`, `lsd` or `ls`.
|
||||
|
||||
ff is a bash script which is a combination of 'mkdir' and 'touch'. It can create directory structures and files simultaneously and lists the created objects using eza, lsd, or ls.
|
||||
## Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
- `ff`: creates the specified files and directories without printing any output.
|
||||
- `ffv`: performs the same operations as `ff` but also lists the created objects.
|
||||
|
||||
## ✨ Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Create single or multiple files and directories in one command.
|
||||
- Automatically create parent directories as needed.
|
||||
- Supports brace expansion for creating complex directory and file structures in one go.
|
||||
- Optionally lists the created objects with enhanced listing tools (`eza` or `lsd`) if available, or fallback to `ls` (`ffv` only).
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- bash
|
||||
- [eza](https://github.com/eza-community/eza) (optional)
|
||||
- [lsd](https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd) (optional)
|
||||
- Optional: [eza](https://github.com/eza-community/eza) or [lsd](https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd) for enhanced directory listing
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
## 🏗️ Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Place both scripts in a directory included in your `$PATH`. Ensure the scripts are executable:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff [path file or folder]
|
||||
--help : prints usage info
|
||||
chmod +x /path/to/ff
|
||||
chmod +x /path/to/ffv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Single file
|
||||
## 🚀 Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff file
|
||||
ff [path file or folder]
|
||||
ffv [path file or folder]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
file
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
### Single directory
|
||||
- `--help` or `-h` : Prints usage information
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir/
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dir
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create a single file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff file
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
───file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple files
|
||||
- Create a single directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir/
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
───dir
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff file1 file2 file3
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create multiple files:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff file1 file2 file3
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─file1
|
||||
─┼─file2
|
||||
└─file3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
file1
|
||||
file2
|
||||
file3
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create multiple directories:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/ dir2/ dir3/
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─dir1
|
||||
─┼─dir2
|
||||
└─dir3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple directories
|
||||
- Create a file in a directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir/file
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
───dir───file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/ dir2/ dir3/
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create a directory within a directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/dir2/
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
───dir1───dir2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dir1
|
||||
dir2
|
||||
dir3
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create multiple files in multiple directories:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/dir2/file1 dir3/file2
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─dir1───dir2───file1
|
||||
─┴─dir3───file2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### File in a directory
|
||||
- Use [brace expansion](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Brace-Expansion.html) for complex structures (supported in bash, zsh, fish):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/{dir2/{file1,file2}.txt,dir3/file3.txt}
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─file1.txt
|
||||
───dir1─┬─dir2─┴─file2.txt
|
||||
└─dir3───file3.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir/file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dir
|
||||
└── file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Directory in a directory
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/dir2/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dir1
|
||||
└── dir2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple files in multiple directories
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/dir2/file1 dir3/file2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dir1
|
||||
└── dir2
|
||||
└── file1
|
||||
dir3
|
||||
└── file2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### If your shell supports brace expansion e.g bash, zsh, fish
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ff dir1/{dir2/{file1,file2}.txt,dir3/file3.txt}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dir1
|
||||
├── dir2
|
||||
│ ├── file1.txt
|
||||
│ └── file2.txt
|
||||
└── dir3
|
||||
└── file3.txt
|
||||
```
