The script creates the project on the desktop by default (that is normally where I save quick projects). This script was just an automated tool for me as I suddenly found myself creating the same base project stucture for new projects on a daily basis.

I hope this script is usefull to others and if you want to make modifications please do so and submit the changes back - I'd like to create a repo of automated batch scripts for small projects.

How to use it

Step 1: Save the create_project.bat file to your computer (It doesn't matter where, I generally keep mine on my desktop)

Step 2: Open CMD (windows command line) navigate to the location where you saved the script

Step 3: Run the script (optionally you can add a name for your project)

Example

Specified Project Name

Run the script in CMD <script>.bat project_name

specify name in CMD

named project

No Specified Project Name

If you just run the script without specifying a project name then it will create a random project name. For example if you just double click on the script.

no name specified

no name specified project
