mktouch

mktouch is a command-line tool for creating a file at a specified path and, if necessary, creating any parent directories that don't already exist.

Installation

To install mktouch, run the following command:

go install github.com/B3ns44d/mktouch@latest

Usage

To create an empty file at a specified path, run the following command:

mktouch <filename>

Replace <filename> with the path to the file you want to create.

By default, mktouch will create the file with read and write permissions for the owner, and read-only permissions for others. You can use the --mode flag to specify different permissions in octal format:

mktouch --mode 0640 <filename>

This will create the file with read and write permissions for the owner, and read-only permissions for the group.

You can also use the --parents or -p flag to create parent directories if they don't already exist:

mktouch -p /path/to/new/file

This will create the directories /path/to/new/ if they don't already exist, and then create the file file in the new/ directory.

You can create multiple files at once by passing in multiple filenames as arguments:

mktouch -p /path/to/new/{file.go,file1.go,file2.go}

This will create the files file.go, file1.go, and file2.go in the /path/to/new/ directory.

You can also use brace expansion to create a range of files:

mktouch -p /path/to/new/test{0001..0003}.go

This will create the files test0001.js, test0002.js, and test0003.js in the /path/to/new/ directory. Note that brace expansion is a feature of the shell, not the mktouch command itself, so you need to run these commands in a shell that supports brace expansion.
