mktouch

As a Neovim user, I'm used to creating folders directly from my terminal instead of using the editor or a GUI. Frequently, I need to touch a new file, like a component, but I don't have the parent folders to place this new file in. So, my friend @fdaciuk showed me this awesome shell script that magically not just creates the file, but also the needed parent folders if they don't exist:

function mktouch () {
  for p in $@; do
    mkdir -p $(dirname "$p")
  done

  touch $@
}

Usage

Just like mkdir but with super powers:

mktouch src/path/to/component/Component.js
