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.
To install mktouch, run the following command:
go install github.com/B3ns44d/mktouch@latestTo 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}.goThis 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.
